Buy single issues of comics online?
December 12009
I remember years ago that there were some MAIL ORDER comic companys out there. You could by Single Issues from DC, Marvel and alot of other companies. Are there any companies like this but online?
My first suggestion would be to SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL COMIC SHOP!
Of course, if that’s not viable for once reason or another, there are solutions. I’ve looked some shops before and here’s where I would go.
mycomicshop.com –This is really great if you’re looking for a specific comic, old or new. They have a ginormous selection and I would say that their prices are on the low side. Very reasonable.
If you’re looking for current comics, I’ve come across some sites that appear reasonable, but have never dealt with them personally:
http://g-mart.com
http://www.mailordercomics.com/
http://www.comicsnow.com/
I’d suggest just googling "comic book subscriptions" to find the best deals. Of course, you can subscribe directly through most comic book publishers, but if they’re like DC they delay when you receive the book from when it was originally published.
*Here’s another thing that might help that doesn’t directly answer your question:
Another option is, if you don’t care about prospective value (which I wouldn’t recommend caring about,) is to collect comics once they’ve been printed in trade paper backs (which could also be purchased online.) These tend to be cheaper and give you the full story all at once with no advertisements.
