Graphic Novel - Mini Sale

GRAPHIC NOVEL SALE - ON SELECTED MARVEL/DC TITLES + a few surprise indy titles!

More than 80 Graphic Novel titles now on sale at CRAZY GOOD PRICES in the centre isle at the Labyrinth. Many great titles to choose from. Some of these have never been this cheap before. or possibly again. Stop by to see the whole selection for yourself. While supplies last.

While we expect to run out of some of the books, there will be new titles added over the next two weeks. Then soon after that the sale ends. So stock up for summer reading now.

Just a few covers below. Sorry, but we're too lazy to post all the covers. You'll just have to see them for yourself at the shop.

Be a Hero, Save a plastic Tree.

If you live in Toronto, you probably already know about the 5 cent bag tax brought on by our fearless mayor. The goal of this tax is to help reduce plastic bags that end up in the landfill.

The problem is we don't like taxing our customers needlessly

So the solution is: Bag Donations.

That's right, rather than handing out new bags (which we will only do if you pay us the 5 cents tax) we will offer you 2nd hand bags donated by our customers.

The Labyrinth invites you to drop off any clean re-usable grocery type bags at the shop so that other customers can use them -rather than having these bags end up in the landfill.

So one day you get a donated bag, another day you return it so that someone else can use it. This cycle of re-use helps reduce the senseless killing of plastic trees.

Be a Hero! Drop off clean re-usable bags Today!
