Finding Comic Books

Finding Comic Books – Cairo

| Costas Barbatsis

There was so much to see in Cairo that I did not have time to find a comic book store.

But luckily at the hotel I am staying is a small store where you can buy some bits like cigarettes, shampoos, crisps, soft drinks and surprisingly comic books!

I found a Disney comic with Donald Duck on its cover, it was translated in Arabic.

I asked the man behind the till for its price, he told me and reluctantly added that it was a book for children.

I replied that it’s ok I just need to please the the child of comic book fan I am from time to time!

Finding Comic Books – Belgrade

| Costas Barbatsis

It is amazing to travel to another country and finding out that they have a common love for comics. I’m visiting Belgrade in Serbia and just opposite of my hotel was a big bookstore, Vulkan. I found out that it was open for 24 hours and of course it had a comic book section.
It had an amazing collection of hardcovers and trade paper backs and the comics here are called Stripovi!

My eye caught the amazing art on the cover of a hardcover. It was Moebius the Long Tomorrow! It was translated in Serbian and published by Darkwood.

Of course I bought the comic book.

I also visited Darkwood comics!

It was a delight going through the comics at the Darkwood comic book store! The first thing my eye caught was a Zagor comic.

It was an amazing experience which I really enjoyed

Finding the TinTin Shop

As we were walking down Floral Street in Covent Garden London we saw the TinTin Shop. I got thrilled and had to go inside and check it out.

Sadly they did not let me take any photos while in the shop but I can tell you it was filled with all thing TinTin! From all sorts of comics to all kinds of merchandise.

It’s amazing you should definitely visit it!
