Question about comics available in Heathrow Airport

    I'm flying to Thailand on Wednesday and have to sit through a twelve hour flight plus a five hour wait for a connection in Heathrow. I was wondering if anyone has ever been to Heathrow to the WH Smith (that's the bookstore I think) and seen any graphic novels or comics. I'm hoping to pick a few up for the trip but if I know there is none there I'll maybe get a few in Cork city instead before I go. I hope there is more than just your standard Marvel Collectors Editions. Anyway if anyone knows I'd appreciate a heads up. Thanks

    I travelled through that airport a while ago but I don't remember seeing any graphic novels because I reckon I would have bought them. They could well have them though, they are much more widely available over in the UK. Lucky bastard going to Thailand by the way! :mad:

    I don't ever remember seeing graphic novels in an airport anywhere... not that I look that closely, but I would have htought I'd have noticed. I'd pick up anything you want in advance though rather than be disappointed.

    What kind of stuff you thinking about?

    5 hours is enough time to dash into Forbidden Planet in London.

    I dunno what I'm lookin for. I have everything you'd typically find in bookstores I suppose. Sin City and a few of the vertigo titles I have em all. I'm hoping for a decent selection to find a few titles I haven't read. I'd go to forbidden planet but I don't want to risk getting totally lost and missing the flight. How far is that from Heathrow?
