Comic Price Increases, not very comical.

So do you want the bad news? The less bad news? Or the good news?

Okay so first the bad news....

As some of you are already aware the post Brexit weakness of the pound versus the US Dollar and Euro has already caused the prices on some board games to be raised.

In view of that it isn't a particular surprise that Diamond UK the only significant comics distributor in the UK have increased their prices as well, albeit for the first time in 8 years.

As a result I'm sorry to say we're going to have to increase the prices on our comics, graphic novels and other items we get from the US in turn.

The less bad news....

We're going to be doing what we can to soak up as much of the increase as we can in our margin. We've always tried to give great value and price our stock competitively. We aim to continue doing that, but we can't stay in business and keep prices as they are.

The good news....

Any comics and graphic novels we have in store before the price increases will remain at the old price until we have to buy more. In addition we will attempt to source more comics from small UK publishers and producers provided that there is demand for it.

Thanks for listening and as ever if you have any questions then message / call or pop into the store.
