About Us

Canterbury’s Longest Established Comics and Collectables Retailer
has Moved. It’s the end of an Era, and the beginning of a new one.

Whatever Comics first opened for business in as a small back issue only business, in the Harvey Centre, an "indoor market" in Canterbury, Kent. This was a full time six days a week business, not just a part time hobby, we were determined to make it work because we believed in it.

It quickly became clear that our customers wanted access to new imports as well as older classic comics and we started importing new titles shortly after.

We moved to Burgate Lane in 1992, which was to be our home until the 14th July 2008, and this year Whatever Comics celebrates 20 Years in the business.

We have always prided ourselves in being a friendly community with customers just popping in for a chat.

For a period of about 10 years we also had a second shop in Maidstone, We are still in contact with many of our Maidstone customer’s, towards the end of 2006 we also launched the current incarnation of our Website. Combining all the features you would normally expect from an online business including sections for news, reviews and previews as well as a thriving forum community that actively welcomes new members.

Welcome to all of our customers old and new alike. Thank you for the support over the last 20 years, but above all, thank you for your friendship.

Feel free to browse around both our virtual www.whatevercomics.com and "bricks and mortar" shops and to ask any of us any questions that you might have. Whatevercomics@hotmail.co.uk.

Best Wishes Manny & Debe Very Happy

Yay.

Best of luck with the move.

I'll be popping in soon. If I can't manage this coming Saturday (and it's only an outside chance at best), I'll definitely be in the shop Saturday 2nd August.

Cos in between that, I have a niece's birthday party to help organise... Shocked
