Omar’s World of Comics
About
Omar’s World of Comics is a Lexington comic shop and gaming destination that aims to provide a clean, safe and fun place for the community to play games and enjoy shared fandoms and stories. It shares its space with Pixel Paradise and Omar’s Bistro, a from-scratch kitchen, so visitors can browse, play and eat under one roof. The shop also hosts tournaments, clubs and other organized events.
Omar Masood, a young man with Down syndrome and a graduate of the LABBB special education collaborative at Lexington High School, started the business with his family in January 2018. Their goal was to give back to the community that had helped him so much. Four days a week the shop serves as a vocational training site for LABBB students with special needs, part of a formal partnership with the collaborative.
