• I remember that shop from the 70s (my primary school was just up the road in New Cross Gate)
    It had a huge cut out character on the wall above the door - can't remember who.
    Friends from school bought comics there before I was into them.
    There was a great scene of Indy comic shops around that time and later.
    Forbidden Planet up in town and another opposite New Cross Gate station - I remember it opened around the time Watchmen started, it had a window display with 'Who Watches the Watchmen' - I didn't really understand.
    Later there was Skinny Melinkies on Loampit Vale.

  • Blimey - that's right, there was a few of them. The Popular Book Centre was on New Cross Rd, too: it was real comic book heaven around there.
