Those who have recently been admiring my collection of graphic novels may be interested to know that I have helped pay the rent for Swindon's only comic shop (it's called Swin City - how cute is that?) by expanding it to include volumes I-VII of The Invisibles, volumes 0 & I of Transmetropolitan, vol. I of The Authority and vol. XVI of Ultimatre X-Men (bringing me up to date with the series).
At a total cost of £120. Ouch.
This is after I had already treated myself to a holiday season binge of Dangerous Habits, vol. III of Girls, Fray (futuristic Slayer stuff from Joss Whedon - excellent) and vol. I of Brian Azzarello's new project, Loveless.
Never shop hungry, kids.
