About the business.

We feel passionate about comic books, boardgames and RPGs and we want you to feel the same. Our goal is to get everyone in the world to love at least one comic or game. We want to let the uneducated know that they're not just for kids. Comics can be about love, hate, politics, religion, life, death, anything. Sometimes stereotypical and sometimes the most amazing out-there pieces of literature you will every read. We want to bring comics from subculture to mainstream because we love 'em. We see boardgames and RPGs as activities which bring people together Face to Face rather than distant online events. They are about friendship, community and good old traditional fun! We run regular gaming events at all our stores, for more details just give us a call, we'd love to tell you about them :) We want to meet other people who feel the same and people who are just curious! We are a small independent business run by some of the friendliest people you will ever meet! …

Great selection of manga and comics in this store, I found a few I'd been unable to find elsewhere. Store is well laid out and up-to-date, and staff are friendly and knowledgable. The prices are good for the area. Overall very good, better than the other similar stores in the area.

This place is a must for all you geeks out there. The store is packed with comics and sci-fi related paraphernalia. The parts that I'm interested in (anime and manga and cutesy things) were quite lacking though. The store isn't hard to find with bright colours and it seems pretty new. It's bright and open and is actually quite busy. The staff are friendly and helpful and with the store being easy to navigate, I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for (if not, request it).

A fantastic shop. Keeps 6 months of back issues of everything ever (I haven't tested that theory quite) and is so well organised you can't miss what you're after. The staff are knowledgeable, happy to help and know their job welll. Prices for comics are fantastic, way cheaper than Forbidden Planet, which is nearby (which only keeps the curent isssue too). Only issue for me is the graphic novel prices. Sometimes spot on, but sometimes more expensive than Watestones, and that's saying something Overall giving it a 5 still. Welll laid out, bright and organised but you will leave spending more than you ever intended simply because they have everything you want and more!

Travelling man is the most modern of Newcastle's comic stores. The interior is well lit and easy to navigate, although you do feel that it is a little sterilised. There is a wide selection of comics to the front of the shop, and you can set up a standing order for comics to be stored in your name and go pick them up every few weeks. They do not keep back copies of limited covers, all variants, or rare issues though, so if you want one you need to go in anyway. There is a wide selection of DVDs and games towards the back of the shop, although these are a little more expensive than you would pay in a mainstream store.

A comic book store which sells graphic novels, role-playing games, card games, t-shirts etc. There is an odd yet pleasant smell which I think has something to do with the comics and the pristine polythene pockets. There is a DVD section containing a lot of anime and asian extreme horror. I was about to buy a DVD from here once until someone pointed out to me that I could get the same one in HMV for a way better price. Realistic action figures and statues are also sold and they make great gifts for geeks all ages.

Specialties We feel passionate about comic books, boardgames and RPGs and we want you to feel the same. Our goal is to get everyone in the world to love at least one comic or game. We want to let the uneducated know that they’re not just for kids. Comics can be about love, hate, politics, religion, life, death, anything. Sometimes stereotypical and sometimes the most amazing out-​there pieces of literature you will every read. We want to bring comics from subculture to mainstream because we love ‘em. We see boardgames and RPGs as activities which bring people together Face to Face rather than distant online events. They are about friendship, community and good old traditional fun! We run regular gaming events at all our stores, for more details just give us a call, we’d love to tell you about them :) We want to meet other people who feel the same and people who are just curious! We are a small independent business run by some of the friendliest people you will ever meet! History Established in 1991. In 1991 Travelling Man, opened a small shop selling comics and games, located at Hyde Park Corner in Leeds. Later Travelling Man moved to larger premises and later still opened a few more stores, now we bring comics and games to the people of Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle and York! We frequently get asked about where the name Travelling Man came from, so here it is: 1: The business began with a passion for Role Playing Games, in which you play a character travelling through a fantasy-​land with a group of pals, hence Travelling Man. 2: Browsing our stores is like travelling around the world, seeing what different cultures have to offer and potentially trying something new. 3: As a business we want to keep moving forward, learning from the stumbles along the way. We hope to see you soon!

“Really nice and great value” Review of The Travelling Man

3 courses for a tenner, what's not to like. Rump steak cooked to perfection. Lovely friendly atmosphere and lovely staff. If you don't want an expensive night out in Newcastle this is a fantastic local alternative. Especially great for all of you stopping at the quality hotel just around the corner. (Only managed two courses)

Great selection of dishes on the menu, very reasonable prices. Very pleasant serving staff and prompt attention and serving of meals. My daughter loved the child portion of chicken nuggets chips which looked delicious and the jacket potatoes were huge - I had the mince and dumplings as the lunchtime special - very tasty and filling! Would confidently recommend and definitely visit again!

Visited here with sister and grandad for food. Menu has something for everyone and the food is simple and tasty. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly and service was just right. Was impressed with the drinks menu so shall be back to try out some prosecco and frozen cocktails!

After being out and about with family today we decided to try the Travelling Man for the 1st time. The place is lovely, staff are good and the service 1st class, food came quickly and was lovely with plenty of choice for young and old

Friendly service without fussing. Food is good quality and appears to be mostly homemade. Didn't have to wait long for our order and enjoyed it when it arrived.
