Kent Comics

Can't Imagine there being another comic book shop in Kent that beats this.

Other than Orbital Comics in Central London, the majority of comic book shops I've seen are rather tiny and primarily stock modern books with a small selection of back issues (the sale of figurines and other expansive merchandise always goes without saying). Kent comics on the other hand is like an Aladdin's Cave of wonder that I'm sure any collector or novice reader would love to explore. The shop isn't huge, but it's a darn sight bigger than most.

Equally the two brothers who own the place have been collecting comics since they were young and have a depth of knowledge and enthusiasm that is sure to make anyone feel very welcome.

Comic book lovers should not pass up on visiting!

I get my pull list from here and they are great for that. Paul always tries to pick me the best comics which I greatly appreciate and 90% comics come in great condition. Sadly some don't but unfortunately that is the nature of UK distribution and Paul always tries to sort it if there is a major problem, which again, I greatly appreciate. They are a local business and care greatly about their customers so I can only offer the same respect back. Much better than soulless corporations like Forbidden Planet.

The only problem is that when I pick up my pull list I also end up picking up the same cost in bargains from their "50% off graphic novels" shelf!!! It's too tempting to spend all my money (but please don't change it, I love that 50% off shelf.....)

I've also purchased a few items from their eBay store in the distant past. It's how I initially discovered them. I will say that those comics (Star Trek/X men crossovers) were meticulously and carefully packed. So great service all round!

Very nice shop full of back issues. Reasnobly priced, a 50p box and a large amount of bronze and copper in dozens of boxes. The walls are adorned with more interesting, rare, older, first appearance and unexpected titles!
Paul and Mick know their stuff, and ate helpful.
They've a lot of stock that is not out, but welcome queries.
Definitely worth a visit.

Easily the best comic book shop I've ever been to. Always have something I'm looking for at great prices. Helpful and friendly staff. Can't recommend enough.

One of my favourite UK comic shops. Lots of ridiculously hot key books at good prices and a comprehensive range of back issues. If you're a collector like me you'll be in heaven!

I enjoy going to this comic shop. Real calm atmosphere, had great prices and great service also great selection of comics. 5/5

Great selection the best prices a real hidden gem

Discovered Kent Comics while working in that neck of the woods. The owners are fantastically helpful and knowledgable, and it was great to have a good chat with guys who have a real passion for comics.

Been there a few times now and got some terrific stuff - Dreadstar volume 1, a How To Draw Superheroes book by the legendary Joe Kubert, and a wad of limited series from the 80s and 90s all at brilliant prices.

Kent Comics is a hidden gem that is packed with glorious back issues, a nifty assortment of trades and lots of rarities such as Marvel UK titles, SF paperbacks and much much more.

Can't rate or recommend it highly enough. Six stars or more would be ideal!
