It was winter 1989 when Whatever Comics first opened for business in as a small back issue only business in the Harvey Centre, which was an "indoor market" in Canterbury, Kent. This was a full time six days a week business, not just a part time hobby, we were determined to make it work because we believed in it.

It quickly became clear that our customers wanted access to new imports as well as older classic comics and we started importing new titles shortly after.

We moved to Burgate Lane in 1992, which was to be our home until the 14th July 2008, and this year Whatever Comics celebrates 20 Years in the business.

For a period of about 10 years we also had a second shop in Maidstone, We are still in contact with many of our Maidstone customer’s, towards the end of 2006 we also launched the current incarnation of our Website. Combining all the features you would normally expect from an online business including sections for news, reviews and previews as well as a thriving forum community that actively welcomes new members.

We have always prided ourselves in not only being a friendly community with customers just popping in for a chat, but also to make the comic shop a place for everyone, gone is the dingy back street establishment, where you would be made to feel like a fool for asking the simplest questions, in its place is the bright well lit and clean premises your Mum or Girl friend wont mind coming into with you.
