Guide to buying graphic novels online

Supporting the local comic book shop is great and I'll buy as much from them as possible. But sometimes buying on-line has its advantages, its often cheaper, you get a massive selection and you also get to stay at home and watch cartoons instead of squeezing past people at the local comic shop.

Top places to buy cheap comics and graphic novels on-line.

Book Depository
One of the most unlikely sites I have found but it is defiantly worth a look. Book Depository's Graphic Novels, Anime & Manga section has a totally huge selection of graphic novels and manga. They also have constant sales on them with some as much as 50% off on some popular books. Along with free world wide delivery and prices in different currency's Book Depository is by far one of the best sources online. Book Depository

Play.com
Another unlikely source for graphic novels on-line. But Play.com has got a nice selection, I recently bought Frank Millers Robocop and Ronin from here for a greatly discounted price after not being able to find them in the local comic shop, the only major flaw with play.com is some of the GN's take 4-6 to ship. They also do free delivery and sell in GBP and EURO, not a bad selection either. Play.com

Forbiddenplanet.co.uk
Old time favourite and probably one of the first places you will look for online comics. FP have a great selection of Graphic novels and toys on-line at a price which will be a bit cheaper than the high-street store. They also do super fast delivery unlike the others and normally deliver within the week. The only problem I have ever had with fobiddenplanet.co.uk is the selection and search on the site which can be a bit of a let down for the site. Forbidden Planet

mycomicshop.com
I haven't used there before but they do have a good selection at pretty cheap prices, along with world wide shipping.
One of the great things about mycomicshop is they have a huge selection of graphic novels along with comics which not a lot of online stores can say. Along with the facility to sell your old comics they look like an awesome retailer. I'm hoping to shop with them soon. MyComicshop

AbeBooks
Another of the unlikely online book stores but they do seem to have a good selection of graphic novels from a lot of different sellers from around the world, they even have a copy of “Batman: Birth of the demon” which I have been looking for for a long time and at a good price too, and that's one of the main reasons for AbeBooks being added to the list.
