Friends
We always recommend trying your local comic shop. If they offer reasonable prices, decent customer service and look after their regulars, we believe they should be your first option. If comic readers stop using them, they will eventually disappear, as many have been doing over the past decade or so.
If you don't have a LCS, dislike them or they don't have what you are looking for, then we would like to introduce some of our friends and encourage you to check out their services.
Online & Local Comic Shops
Scott's Collectables - Besides representing various comic artists, offering signings and commissions, Scott's also have their own eBay store offering a variety of Silver to Modern age comics.
Peebles Comics and Games - Run by Clare and Simon Mott, they have an online store and an award winning shop in Peebles, Scotland. They also offer a reliable subscription service if you are looking for someone to fulfil your pull list.
World of Superheroes - Steve Eyre's company website, often an impressive selection of comics for all budgets, along with various pieces of artwork and memorabilia. Their website is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
Close Encounters - Brothers Jeff and Bub Chahal operate an online store alongside 3 shops (Bedford, Northampton and Peterborough). Also for a number of years they have run (almost annually) the NICE/TBC comic convention.
Incognito Comics - David Finn's Incognito have a great site featuring a huge selection of Silver, Bronze and Modern age comics, often alongside a reasonable choice of some Golden Age wonders. They usually attend and sell at the London Comic Mart, occasionally they can also be found at a few other shows.
Comic Services
CGC Grading - When sending your comics in for regular grading or signature verification, we recommend sending in directly to the London Office. The rates are usually cheaper than via a third party (watch out for multiple submission fees) and, as there are less people handling your comics and usually less journeys, there is lower risk of accumulating damage.
