Southampton's container port and cruise terminals make it one of the busiest passenger and freight gateways on the south coast. We collect comics from across SO postcodes — Bitterne, Shirley, Portswood, Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford and along the M27 corridor.
Southampton's Forbidden Planet and the long-standing Travelling Man footprint mean a steady stream of complete-run collections come out of the city. We're particularly interested in 80s and 90s independent runs, Image Comics first prints, and any sealed UK Star Wars Weekly / Marvel UK material that often turns up in Hampshire lofts.

Send us photos or a list of your collection through our valuation form. We'll come back to you with a fair offer — usually within one working day.

Once your books arrive and match the description, we pay by same-day BACS.
For collections of around 40 books or more anywhere in Southampton and the surrounding Hampshire area we book and pay for fully insured DPD collection from your door.
