All products are available in our Cape Town store and are therefore in stock and ready for immediate shipping to online customers. Readers Den Comic Shop began as a used books stand at Green Point fleamarket in the early 1990s, mainly to generate some cash for school and varsity holidays ! After numerous requests, we began importing new comics from the USA. We quickly outgrew the tiny premises, and in early 1994 we moved to a bigger shop closer to the heart of Long Street. The mid 1990s was a period of growth, increasing our imported comics and buying and selling huge quantities of old comics. We gained much experience at this stage and continued to expand our knowledge of this niche market. This outlet serves as a fully fledged branch as it is the same size and carries a similar amount of stock as the flagship store in Claremont. 2015 the Claremont store relocated within the same building but to a much larger premises. This expansion saw a doubling of the actual retail space as well as increased office and storage area for the business. In 2012 we became the official distributors for Sideshow Collectibles (US) in South Africa. Sideshow Collectibles produces the finest-quality statues and figures for the discerning collector.
