We're re-opening for pre-booked collections in store from Wednesday 8th July!
We have new rules in place for collections, to protect both customers and staff as much as possible during the ongoing pandemic. Please read this article if you are unaware or unfamiliar with these procedures.
Please remember - as a family business with only one active team member, we would be decimated if a member of our household contracted COVID-19 and it would shut us back down instantly. These rules and measures are designed to provide continuity of service for all of our customers, by hopefully keeping everyone as safe as possible. Here are a few of the biggest titles out this week. COMIC BOOKS
BATMAN #94 Gorgeous variant cover available (above right)! The Designer's machinations have left Batman's life in tatters! Gotham City's ambitious rebuilding has skittered to a halt as new powers are rising to shape its destiny - and Batman is powerless to stop them!

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER WILLOW #1 After everything - and everyone - she lost to the Hellmouth, Willow is leaving Sunnydale behind for a new school that promises "to help you prioritize your true self." But Willow soon learns that all is not as it seems, and if your true self isn't what the school thinks it should be... well, don't worry, they'll help you get there. By any means necessary. Now, truly alone for the first time in her life, Willow must rely only on her instincts - and her magic - to save herself from a different kind of threat than Buffy ever prepared her to face! Award-winning writer Mariko Tamaki (Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass) and superstar artist Natacha Bustos (Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur) bring Willow face to face with the truth of her past... and plant the seeds for a future no one could've predicted.
RICK AND MORTY GO TO HELL #1 Well, it finally happened. Rick and Morty are in Hell, and we don't mean the DMV. It's fire, brimstone, and torture for all eternity. Typical Rick, he sees a way out of this mess and drags Morty with him on a horrific adventure to speak to... the manager.

PLEASE NOTE: it has come to our attention that several intervening issues of ongoing titles have not arrived since the start of the lockdown - mainly from DC. Examples include (but are not limited to): Flash #753, Green Lantern Season Two #3 and Hawkman #24. This is likely due to misallocations of the print runs by DC Comics to their two new US suppliers during the US lockdowns, but this has yet to be confirmed. Diamond UK assure us all missing issues are on order and will arrive in the next few weeks. This matter is out of our hands and our normal Reservation Service terms and conditions will apply to all issues regardless of the order in which they are shipped. Also out this week:
