I've been using A Place In Space and Red Hot Comics both via Ebay for near two years now. The both are reliable and fast(ish). If I order new releases on a Thursday evening, wait till Friday morning for a combined invoice I get delivery by Wednesday.

There may be cheaper places if you deal with them directly and not via Ebay. It generally does work out cheaper than going into Forbidden Planet or Travelling Man (if you factor in travel costs esp.)

If you are after Graphic Novels then Amazon is cheap.

The best place to buy is from somewhere like Forbidden Planet or 86th floor comics, so long as you pre order the month when the solicitations for the comic come out, rather than buying the week the comic is released.

That way you get a discount. If you just order online the week they come out etc.. I find most websites that sell them are all roughly the same in price, and none cheaper than pre ordering like I mentioned.

For example, the True Blood issue #1 on the link above costs £2.99. Preordering it from FP would have cost you £2.65, or £2.43 from 86th floor. Not a huge difference if you are only after one comic I suppose, but if you buy a lot, it adds up.

Mycomicshop.com is good, but based in the US so you get charged through the nose on postage. I only use them for stuff I can't source in the UK.

I've used reedcoomics.co.uk in the past with no problem.

Thanks for the site's SXTony and elnombre/

Is there specific places to order comics from that I've missed. I'm looking for The Warriors comic. But can't find the first issue anywhere.
