About Me

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

We feel passionate about comic books and we want you to feel the same. Our goal is to get everyone in the world to love at least one comic book. To let the uneducated know that they're not just for kids. They can be about love, hate, sex, politics, religion, life, death, anything. Sometimes stereotypical and sometimes the most amazing out-there pieces of literature you will every read. We want to bring comics from subculture to mainstream because we love 'em. We want to meet other people who feel the same and people who are just curious!

Music:

We are currently rocking down with the 60's love! Scott 4 and Forever Changes by Love RPI Arthur Lee. The dudes rock BIG TIME!

Movies:

We are massive film fans and support the programing and promotion of the Fanomenon section of the Leeds International Film Festival. Particurlarly the Anime and Asian films that feature in this, the largest genre event in the uk. We also actively support the Leeds Children and Young Peoples film festival that annually features a huge range of films and workshops made by and for young people.

Television:

Spaced, Heroes and Crazy like a Fox. Hey we have a Heroes signing in our Leeds store on Sat 3rd November @ 1pm, don't miss out! Read more on this in our blog!

Books:

It's usually the case that the people you come across in comic shops be it staff or customers would like to work in the comics business in one way or another. Over the years we have seen some great small press comics produced by our colleagues and customers. Therefore we have started running Small Press evenings where like minded people can get together through their love of comics. More info will be posted shortly on dates and times if you would like to come along.
