    I have bought one of the Comics I believe it's the first part and really looking forward to the others, but I have been visiting the comic store near George-str. and they kind of stopped selling them I think.

    Looked around on the web to see if I can order it online but little or no info on what kind of a comic they're selling (15 pages or more pages hard-cover and the likes)

    Company is called WildStorm but damn work has banned the site.
    any of you knows a store in Dublin which might sell these ?
    or a UK site ? (unfortunately most shops in Dublin don't bother placing themselves onto the Internet)

    COMIC SHOPS:
    There are two main comic shops in Dublin, with one late arrival, and one second-hand shop.

    SubCity in Exchequer Street is probably my favourite, though mostly because I spend far too much time in there talking to the urbane and erudite Richie Lawlor, who runs the place in conjunction with co-owner Robert Curley. A very good selection of graphic novels is building up in the shop, along with an excellent choice of regular comics. I usually buy my regular stuff here, before I head elsewhere.

    Forbidden Planet (still on Crampton Quay) is the other main comic shop in Dublin. Again, they do a good coverage of both comics and graphic novels. They also occasionally clear out some of the overstocks by putting them in boxes for 30 cents each. I've got a lot of good stuff out of these boxes over the past while, along with some awful stuff too. You pays your money and you takes your choice, mind you, and you can't go too far wrong in taking a chance at that price.

    The newcomer in the comic business is The 3rd Place on Crow Street, whose name was chosen not just because of Sony, but also to reflect that it represented an alternative to the two established shops. In a way it's too early to say what they're going to end up doing, but they carry a small amount of regular comics, along with an also small, but extremely comprehensive selection of graphic novels, which occasionally has stock not to be found in either of the other two shops.

    If you go down to the end of Crow Street, you'll find a shop called Crow Corner. This is actually three small enterprises in one, with Liam Webster's second-hand comic stall tucked away in the corner. Liam has a very broad range of back issue comics, as well as some excellent old graphic novels. I'm always plaguing him for stuff, and, to his credit, he regularly turns up with the goods. Well worth a visit, in my opinion.

    good info I appreciate it !

    But since you seems to know all the employees and bosses of these stores , why in the hell do they not have a homepage ?
    I am way too lazy to get into town and find out they do not have what I need.
    I would already be happy with this, if I could order from them directly I would be delighted!

    but I'll visit these places and see what I can come up with.

    ps:damn , most little shops on the continent have a homepage these days...especially when you sell eurgh a speciality
    ps: sorry mini rant... me spoiled !
