I used to go to University in Preston!!!! There is a great little comic shop in the Town Centre (who's name I can't remember!!!) - they WILL stock this book 'cause it's gonna be hot!!! Normally we are about a week behind the States but that's not too long to wait!!!
The only thing I can say to you is that because that shop (if only I could remember the name!!!) is small they may not get lots of copies in and it's GUARANTEED to fly off the shelves!!! My advice is to talk to the guy behind the counter and ask him to reserve you a copy once a month - which they will be more than happy to do!!!
Hope you enjoy the comics experience!!! (If you have any questions e-mail me!!! - I'm from Liverpool by the way!!!)

: 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.
