Baltimore, Maryland
Queer-focused comic shop, bookstore, and café in Highlandtown Arts District
Dreamers & Make-Believers is a comic shop, bookstore, and coffeehouse in Baltimore's Highlandtown Arts District, steps from Patterson Park. Owner Miranda Nordell opened the shop to fill a gap — the 21224 zip code had no bookstore or comic shop, and residents faced a 45-minute bus ride to find one. The shelves prioritize graphic novels by queer creators, women, and BIPOC artists, alongside 3,000+ periodical comics and gifts like enamel pins and tarot cards. The Queer All Year book club meets regularly, and Nordell's Femme Power Comix social media project amplifies feminist storytelling in the medium.
