As I'm sure any of you living in the UK will know, unless you're near a major city, comic books can be a hard thing to come by...and even then it's not too easy! A few years ago, I came across First Age Comics on eBay, and my worries were finally over! I now get every title I need delivered on my doorstep within a day or two of them hitting stands. Recently, I asked owner Mark Braithwaite whether he'd be interested in running a contest here on CBM, and he was kind enough to offer up the following goodies to seven lucky winners...
FIRST AGE COMICS
FIRST AGE COMICS has been providing the very best new titles to readers across the United Kingdom and Europe since 2006. As well as stocking comics and graphic novels from major publishers such as DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, IDW and Image, FIRST AGE COMICS also supports material from independent publishers, small press and local creators.
In addition to a plentiful back issue section with comics dating from the 1960's onwards there's also a healthy selection of action figures, toys, games, t-shirts and film/tv merchandise.
FIRST AGE COMICS are based in The Assembly Rooms, an 18th Century building on King Street in Lancaster. If you're ever in the area and would like to visit, our opening hours are Tuesday-Friday 10am-4.30pm, Saturday 10am-5.30pm.
Alternatively, readers can buy from the FIRST AGE COMICS e-bay store: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/First-Age
