    I can't think of the URL offhand, but Warren Ellis has a fantastic site if i remember correctly...

    Look it up on CBR. also... webmail - www.cbrmail.com
    please only use it if you are a big comic fan cause otherwise it'll get crap and go bust. Just like www.comicwriter.com did. :(

    This is hilarious, especially the "Jay" storyline but avoid if you get offended easily:)

    Mile High Comics is an excellent place to order in though it's from america. Even if you just want to get a price, and/or see what's on offer and what the issues look like. If you select something from the list it gives you a jpg image of what it looks like - that's sweet :D

    Some comic sites i've always found useful:

    Spiderfan
    Uncanny X-Men
    Mutatis Mutandis

    And also, some good online comics:

    Ctrl+Alt+Delete
    Least I Could Do Check out the forums if only for the Daily Hottie/Beef.
    Spelling the Vacuum The art is fairly bad, especially at the start, but its still hilarious.

    And for those who aren't easily offended:

    Mr. Wiggles

    Warning: The Mr. Wiggles comic will REALLY offend some people so, don't click on it unless your able to laugh at things like rape, murder and various other smut when dealth with in a humourus manner. I'm serious. Don't blame if you don't like it, I warned you. :ninja:

    Also, the first 2 ain't great, they get better after that though, as the first few are only setting the scene etc. So if you DO click the link, read roughly 10 or 15 before you give up on it. Enjoy :D

    www.clamnuts.com

    Very dark very funny comic by a man from Tallaght. There are plenty of online comics there, although only a few pages actually loaded for me.
    A warning about the links: They are to free porn sites so don't open them in public expecting to find comic-related sites!

    Having spent over an hour trying to find and collate the information about the various stores I'm aware of, I give you the following list. Note that large bookstore chains like Waterstones and Eason's now have small graphic novel/comic sections so they may be worth checking out. I've not listed them because : a) they're very easy to find, and b) their selection has been, in my experience, too small and inconsistent to be worth relying on.

    Just want to clarify this. I own the 3rd place and these details are wrong.

    Here are the correct details.

    The 3rd Place,
    Unit 3 Sprangers Yard,
    Crow St,
    Dublin 2.

    Phone # 01-6336964.

    E-Mail: info@irishcomicshop.com

    Website: www.irishcomicshop.com

    Also, you have my old e-mail address and one of the shop's internet lines as a contact for Crow Corner. I would appreciate it if you removed it.

    Cheers John.
