Hi, anyone know where I can get Street Fighter Comics in the UK namely:

#1, #3, #13, #14 and Volume 2 Trade Paper.

Just want to complete the whole collection.

Thanks

Well #1 and 3 are mostly an eBay job now or you can try www.herofix.com which is a Canadian site but if you contact the dudes you don't have to use PayPal, otherwise its eBay. Getting them back-tracked in the UK is bound to be difficult.

#13 and #14 aren't out yet and neither is the volume 2 TPB, I use www.comiccave.co.uk Steet Fighter and DarkStalkers however are not on there site, you have to contact them to order the comics.

You're going to have to be very lucky to get them...

Best link I can give you right now is http://www.comics-international.com/Directory/comics_shops_uk.html Which you probably already know of.

Other then that.. well.. http://cyberstore.decepticon-matrix.com/morecomicsstreetfighter.html# but it is American so import charges and all.

Good luck man.

I'm still hoping some comic stores nearby will have Darkstalkers 2 by the time I get there.

Yes Forbidden Planet is another choice, however in my experience (with power foil covers atleast) they are the most expensive choice, £6.99, I manage to get them for £5.something lol. You're still not going to be able to get back issues there btw, they tend to sell out on day 1.

I honestly have no idea. My guess is some not very well advertised sale was on because on the same day I managed to get 12 manga books, normally at £6.99-£7.50 each, for under £50. Or maybe they just liked me? Either way it was a good day.

Unforanty I spent all my money and then saw the Street Fighter art book. Though I did notice forbidden Planet was selling it for £34 while a comic store above Gamestation was selling it for £22.

Shows you it pays to shop around.
