Just came back from Singapore.

Would like to applaud Comics World and its owner Bill (Brother of Patrick Teoh, voice of Radio 4) for a marvelous and wonderful shop he has down South!

Firstly, he does not only take selected comic books where people order or buy, he takes EVERYTHING! I'm talking from your normal stuff to Warhammer, to this to that and he has a big ass collection of back issues. This gives you a good total feel of a real hobbyist running a pure comic shop out of passion and not just money.

He also absorbs the 7% Singapore GST tax so that his readers will enjoy reading comics at a lower rate. The fact that he takes in so many comics and range/quantity, I manage to get:

1) The whole arc of Fantastic Four (Human Torch's Death)
2) The whole set of Blackest Night
3) The whole set of Brightest Day

All first prints, good condition, and all sold to me at cover price.

Now that's a good buy and I'm happy and contented smile.gif

Does G&B have a large amount of variety like Comics World?

It depends on what you're looking for. BLackest Night and Brightest Day are relatively new and recent titles, so I'm sure G&B has stock of them. If you're looking for early 2000 or 199x titles, maybe Comics World will have more of such stuff then G&B> However, the good thing about G&B is you get to look through the back issues yourself!! Sadly, G&B doesn't put all their stock in the shop (probably cos no space).

But the price difference between the two shops is pretty significant for me (if you buy in large qty), so I'm more inclined to get most of my stuff from G&B.

What will you be getting? I've bolded the ones I'm definitely getting. I don't buy singles as they aren't good value but really think I'll get a tablet and start buying the 4 week delayed ones for $1.99.
