If there's a store like it in DC proper I definitely haven't found it. You can find a lot of the component parts (Big Planet Comics is right down the block from Joint Custody Records which combines to be like 50% of what a Newbury Comics would have) but there isn't something that perfectly nails it.
I'm not entirely sure if the market is there. DC probably has the least room for quirky fun stuff of any major US city. People take themselves too seriously.

Well, if you want comics, there's Big Planet. If you want used vinyl, Second Story Books has some.

Fantom comics in dupont circle has a great comics selection and cute merch (tshirts, backpacks, hats, pins)

2nd & Charles has some comparable vibes to Newbury Comics. It’s the closest thing I’ve found in the DC area.

Record shops in the area are closest to Newbury Comics. Maybe try Joint Custody on 16th and U?

Nothing quite like Newbury comics here. I don’t like Boston, but this is an area where they’ve got something better than us.

The thrift store question has already been asked 3-5 times in the few days.
