An independent comic shop based in Aberdeen, Scotland, with over 15,000 back issues, and plenty of graphic novels. They also host regular signings and events, and ship internationally.
Their online store is always open for orders, but do note this doesn’t hold very recent items other than variant cover comics. The team usually wait for two other issues to pass before cataloging those items (so for example, an Issue One won’t be on the system till Issue Four has been released).
Asylum try to host regular signings of both established and up-and-coming talents. If you have made a comic and want to do a signing, please feel free to get in touch with them.
