Caveat! Not only did I work at the Snail, I dated the manager for several years. Overtime and heartache aside, the Snail is a landmark and a paradise for comic & toy lovers. It's Nerdvana. Want to buy Iron Man's helmet? A CGC copy of Spider Man #1? The Knives of Legolas? A lightsaber? JTHM? Muppet toys? Ugly dolls? The Snail provides. Canadian to the bone, run by the Van Leeuwens for over 30 years, it's a Queen Street legend. The staff and managers know comics. Essential pilgrimage for geeks
