One at a time on ebay should get you the best price, if you can be arsed.

If the comics are American, you will get a fair price selling to the yanks, as most lads over there grow up either casually reading or avidly collecting comics, just as all girls grow up playing with dolls.

Comic collecting in England??? It must be about as mainstream over here, as the underwater sport... octopush!

Unless you know the value of what you have, ebay is probably the safest bet.

Most towns have a shop where they'll buy (sell) the comics. It's where they go. The ones with long hair & a faint smell of stale milk.

Unless the comics are in pristine condition, no rips or tears, still have front covers and unremoved free gifts etc they might not be worth as much as you're hoping. I have (or at least had as I can't remember where I put them) the first few hundred copies of 2000AD.

Try here for a shop near you http://www.the-master-list.com/International/Unite...
