The 228 Comic Shops Selling Bad Idea, Including All Forbidden Planets

Bad Idea Comics has updated their destination comic store list, which once was made of one hundred stores permitted to sell Bad Idea Comics, distributed directly from Bad Idea, with all manner of hoops to go through. In the UK, that was one store, the London branch of Forbidden Planet. But now it includes all the Forbidden Planets in the UK – and New York, both sides of the Forbidden Planet divorce. These are the 228 stores currently set up to distribute Bad Idea comic books in 2023 – though every store in the direct marketplace will be getting the Mark Waid/David Lapham The First Supper inside next week's Previews catalogue.
