Ta Phill, added "Magic Labyrinth" and deleted the one that sneaked in, that list (along with the rest of the UK areas I have posted today) was from a trade website, not sure if it still exists tbh.

Theres one here in Stratford upon Avon. It's kinda small and secret but keeps on going strong.
Comic Legends:
The Antiques Centre,
60 Ely Street,
Stratford-Upon-Avon,
Warwickshire. CV37 6LN
Phone: 01789 263349
I have no idea of how to use your initials system but they do a wide genre range of comics, posters, toys and other props.

Added it in Emma, thanks 
And the Southport shop has provided him with Legacy #1 Chris (though no #2 there)
Oh, looks like there is a delay with Legacy #3, possibly early September, think Jan needed a little more time art-wise. Phill, I'll be sending Legacy #1 tomorrow, apologies for the delay but I haven't been out of the house this week till today when I had a job centre visit. I'll go via the post office tomorrow on my way to Liverpool.

No worries Tim, it's all good. If anyone's missing some comics let me know, I'll keep an eye out in Magic Labyrinth as well. He does do back issues etc, so can be useful.

If you can find and have a picture taken with a blind, irate, one legged, kilt wearing Hobbit from the Took side going by the name of Fosco Gamgee, I'll be a happy man
You can generate your own Hobbit name btw here
