Finding Comic Books

Justice League’s Amazing Return

| Costas Barbatsis

I’m surprisingly pleased by reading Justice League Unlimited so pleased that I read all 4 issues in one go. Mark Waid is fleshing out every single page with amazing interaction between each superhero and plot lines that keep you on the edge.

While Dan Mora”s art is a feast for one’s eyes, I am loving every detail he draws. I think it the first time I have ever seen his art and I’m impressed.

Can’t wait to find out ho are the villains working behind the scenes an who else is going to be featured in this ne unlimited version of the Justice Leagur

This is a comic I suggest you read!

Finding Comic Books – Kinokuniya Books, Dubai

| Costas Barbatsis

Comic fans in Dubai already must know but whoever is a comic book fan should visit the Dubai Mall not because its the biggest mall in the world but to visit Kinokuniya Books!

It was an unexpected surprise that this Japanese book store had such a big collection of comics of all types from Superheroes to Manga to European comics and in all formats!

Also the statuettes and figurines of comic book characters, animation, movies and games where simply stunning.I was bedazzled for a few moments before I started searching for something to buy which I eventually did

I’m so glad that I found issue one of Guardians of the Galaxy and Young Justice, I’m a big fan of both titles!!​

Finding Comic Books – India

| Costas Barbatsis

I’m currently visiting India and was looking forward to find some comics but l did not expect to find them in ElephantaI Island but l did!

It just happened that l noticed a small stool in the market area that had some comics! I browsed the covers and checked quickly the interior of one of them and saw that they were based on Indian mythology!

l decided to buy a couple on my way back, l didn’t want to risk having them snatched by a monkey while visiting the caves. So on my return l chose two “Tales of Shiva” & “Hanuman” l asked the guy who was selling them what he knew of these comics and he replied that they are very old comics, and yes he read comics too.

From a quick check l did later on the ferry the comics that l had chosen were actually reprints which were original published in 1967 and 1971, they are written in English and they have lovely art and published by Amar Chitra Katha.

They reminded me of the “Classic Illustrated” comic series l had read in Greece!

More info when l have read both of them
