The Strangeness of Brendan McCarthy

[ming]

Has anyone picked up a copy of the complete Zaucer of Zilk?  I'm having trouble finding anywhere that lists it for sale, so any pointers would be appreciated...

Yea, if you want to pay $25 for cheapest postage to the UK!

Actually, I'll be able to pick one up from there in a couple of weeks... 

I can't remember the last time I set foot in a proper comic shop, to be honest, so this'll be a bit of a treat.

I use them quite a bit, and can verify that it still works out cheaper than using a LCS (particularly Forbidden Planet who have, shall we say, a whimsical approach to pricing).

Normally the international envelope holds 6 comics comfortably...any more, and you could get a bashed corner.

Nice one Ming, it's a really cool shop.
I spent about two hours in there a few weeks back, and plugged quite a few back-issue gaps using their pretty extensive back-issue selection.
Didnt see the Galaxy's Greatest Comic on sale there though!

FP have a terrible mail order service, they seem to advertise things at prices that they are never going to fulfill.

Now here's a 'turnip' for the books: I ordered Complete Zaucer from FP on this link and just received an email saying it's been posted!

Just read this news on another thread AO, and feel fanboyishly giddy with excitement.
Ive never read Skin either, so this is my absolute must read of 2013.

Wow.

Anyone got a format size for this beauty yet?
