Comic Book Heroes, the Latest Independent Store for Romford Shopping Hall
We posted about one comic store closing down in Essex, England over the weekend. Well, nature it seems abhors a vacuum. And as that store was shutting, another new comic book store Comic Book Heroes was opening down the road at the Romford Shopping Hall in Havering, on the border of London and Essex.
Located in Unit 20, at 43 Market Place, it many more independent outlets in the shopping centre, without a chain store in sight. Not even a Starbucks. So definitely not a Forbidden Planet.
And they have been getting the word out around town about their grand opening last week… courtesy of Amanda and Michelle and @trooperessex…
Anyone fancy an impromptu restaging of Kingdom Come? The store is open now, seven days a week. Let us know if you are able to pop by. Oh look, you can even call ahead…
Bleeding Cool tries to mark the passing of comics stores as well as their opening. Existing fanbases are likely to make the former more well known, but please let us know if a comic store is opening or closing in your neighbourhood. Just e-mail richjohnston@bleedingcool.com.
