Forbidden Planet is set to take over the Mega City Comics store in Camden Town, which closed after owner Martin Kravetz's retirement. Forbidden Planet expressed pride in preserving this iconic store's legacy and continuing its connection with loyal customers. The new management will retain existing staff, ensuring continuity for the store's dedicated clientele. Mega City Comics, established in 1981, has a rich history in the comic book community, and the acquisition is seen as a significant unification of two prominent entities in the comic book industry.
We're very proud to be securing the future of this vital Camden institution - and continuing Mega City Comics' singular relationship with its valued long-term customers in this unique London borough.
I am delighted to be placing the future of the store in such safe and capable hands. Linking the world's largest comics retailer with one of this country's oldest indie comic-book stores is a proud achievement.
I was a regular three-times-a-week customer of Martin's and purchased hundreds of the decade's greatest comic-books from him. The minute I heard Mega City might be closing, I knew we had to keep this exceptional store alive!
Camden Town is the focal point of the UK music industry, the cradle of Britpop and the epicentre of Japanese anime culture in London.
