Excellent news to hear of a new comic shop opening, stunned that the Perth city area (ok its a town but dont tell them that lol) and surrounding area doesn’t have a comic shop as its a fair population. Not from there but may pop into Perth (stunning place)and check it out – good to see it has back issues also.
