ajthegreat Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Hello I just came across these forums and they have a wealth of great information. I am an avid comic book reader, superman and x-men, but I have not been able to find any shops that sell english language comic books. Do anybody know where I could find any in Bangkok. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Big C near the World trade center has a store that sells english language graphic novels, trading card games, and comics. It's on the floor where they sell movie tickets.

p_brownstone Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 For second hand magazines you might also like to try the Books / Magazine section at Chatujak Market. If you know what you are looking for you may even find a few items worth more than their asking price. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terdsak_12 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I've got a whole stack of early 90's VIZ comics, always good for a chuckle. May be worth something one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkmadness Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I'm sure there is a shop in MBK near the small arcade bit and internet section (5th floor?), not the cinema floor anyway that has graphic novels and comics, nut sure what though. Alternatively you can download them from the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are definately other sites as well but I don't know them, have to search google and see what you can find I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haha Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 ahhh. a subject I used to be very fond of. back in my childhood days, I collected comic books with a passion. my favorite were marvels comics. thor, daredevil, x-men, dr.strange, etc. back in the 60's they cost me from 10 to 25 cents an issue. after they got expensive, I stopped buying them. at my peak, I had over 20k comic books. I still have about 3k sitting in a closet in sacramento. mostly 60's stuff. will go back soon to see if they are still in good shape to sell. should be able to get at least a dollar per issue. I remember having #1s of daredevil, sub-mariner, iron-man, and conan. also had the issue of the avengers where captain america was revived. I think it was issue #2 or 3. boy. I wish I kept my #1 of fantastic four, and spiderman. hmmm... I wonder how much my #1s are worth now? I will check... my favorite stories were the ones with the silver surfer and the magnus. the eternal one, the watcher, chaos, and all the celestrial elements fighting it out. yeah. I know. kind of nerdy, right? hehehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajthegreat Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 Cool thanks again for the new info. I am going to check out the book stores listed above this weekend. Also going to try the file sharing software. Who would have figured I would have to come all the way to Thailand to figure out how to use the internet LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hUsh Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 You can also try Kinokuniya Bookstore in Emporium. I saw some comic books there buy they're a bit pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajthegreat Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 Just a head up to everybody. I went to both Asia Books and Bookazine but they had a very limited amount of comics, mostly Archie type books. There is a Japanese bookstore across from Asia Books in Siam Discovery (I think that was the building) called Books Kinokuniya. They carred many of the 5 in 1 comics books of the most popular DC and Marvel titles. Just remember to leave me the Superman ones though LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcorn Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 If you use bit torrent, the best site hands down is zcultfm.com. They've got everything from new releases to the older classic stuff. You do have to register to get to the trackers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnvic Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Regarding downloads, some are freely distributed, some aren't. Please make sure you aren't openly discussing pirated material. Copyright on periodicals ranges from 26-50yrs so some classics should be fine cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tara_th Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 well you can always go to marvels official site and they have some comics you can read www.marvel.com/digitalcomics/ as for other members referring to jatujak i was wondering if you know where i can find the specific store that carries comics. I'm an X-Men fan and i went looking around jatujak but all i found were Mad and Archie comics as well as a lot of anime. I know kinokuniya (sp?) has a lot of comics as well as letting you order your own but as stated before they can get pretty pricey. Anyways anymore places anyone has found or confirmed would be great.
