It's been a bit of a disrupted October, but Regie is back and raring to go. Many thanks to Alice for making sure Harrogate had Comics and generally keeping the good ship Destination Venus afloat. Because last week's "What's on the Rack" was a bit of a slapdash affair we've amalgamated last week's rack with this week's.
As ever you can
drop in and say "Hello" to see the comics in our Harrogate store, or simply scroll on down to check out the first issues that hit the rack over the last couple of weeks:
