Do the filing or cuddle Totoro whilst reading comics? It's a tough one.

A fairly busy week on the books and comics front. If you shop local or independent (and I know it's not always easy), on behalf of all of us small retailers: THANK YOU. Good things will come back to you. If you shop second- hand, just come and collect your crowns.

Adding 1990 DC Star Trek comics to the stock. The shop's getting busier towards Christmas with non-comic readers looking to buy for their relatives. This is where finding the right thing gets a bit trickier!

A rare shot of me doing some work. In January the business will have been going 19 years, if you include the first 6 months online and then the market stall. The shop opened 10 years ago.

Had to share this cause it annoys me. DS9 faced tons of hate, including racism. Watch the What We Left Behind doc for proof. Avery Brooks fought racism behind the scenes & even had to defend Cirroc Lofton after a security guard harassed him near set. Don’t rewrite history. Only Sisko can do that.

Sending out some Black Archive books: each one is a detailed look at one Dr Who episode and the cover designs are brilliant. Just 9 left now.
