hey people,
okay, so i'm not a comic book kid. BUT having been reading the stuff here and other places, i want to buy some. and, indeed, why not start with Mr Smith's 'Green Arrow' run? that was rhetorical. they sound pretty cool so i want to purchase them. thing is, i don't know how comic distribution works. that is: i live in England. so i want to know how big the release is likely to be. will the comic book shop in my town (Preston) stock it? i'm guessing Forbidden Planet will have them, so i can mooch into Manchester. but when will they have them? is there a delay between US release and UK release? if so, how big is the delay?
if there is gonna be a big wait, i might well purchase them from the Stash (along with other stuff). so how long does it take for stuff to arrive after ordering and are there any charges added on by Customs?
thanks for yr help.
