- Myself and Luke, from Hydra Collectables, recently went comic hinting in London.
We visited a market, Mega City Comics, and a few other comic stores. Join us on our adventure and see what KEY mega x-men books I picked up!

Sadly this confirms what many have known for some time: there’s very lttle reason to go to London comic shops (the few that are left) if you want a good choice of Bronze or Silver. Let alone high grade, let alone cents and unstamped copies. A few key shops have closed over the last 10 years left and there’s not much left. It seems the London Comic Mart is by far the best place to get a high number of purchase options. Obviously the x109 was a nice book, but that was the only interesting book. I’ve seen mega city’s wall books on other videos and am seriously unimpressed. I’m sure they try their best but its a bit of a pathetic choice if you compare it to wall books in many US comic book stores. Probably not their fault but more a reflection of the UK market. I know all uk comics stores are desperate to buy high quality bronze/silver collections but more collectors are holding onto them now, i know I am.
Oh and Kill or be Killed is great Brubaker/Philips fare (they always hit a home run) modern crime story with a slight horror take.
Iv been told the comic mart is great but Iv never managed to get to one, defo on my list though. I find the same lack of choice/selection at most of the cons I go to, very little in terms of comics I’m afraid. I wonder if the likes of eBay has killed off the physical comic market? Perhaps stuffs just too easy to pick up theses days and the hunt is dead? Sounds like an idea for a vid 😂 thanks for watching!
Wonderful tour! And im pretty sure you held up volume 4 of kill or be killed which contains the final issues! Dont start there! 😂
Bollocks! I’d better check 😜
Ok, you've convinced me. I'm planning my trip to London now! ••• Very nice pick-ups. I get trades for modern comics as well.
Awesome! Glad I could help promote tourism! Thanks for watching!
😂 you should make London tour videos on the side Pete. I think I've caught the nostalgia bug lately too, just picked up the 90s Flash tv show comic 🤷♂️
Am mate nice! I love that show
Pete the tour guide 🤣🤣fantastic pick ups love Indiana Jones just found that in my collection,
Thanks Wayne, love that Indy cover
Thanks Wayne, love that Indy cover
Thanks Wayne, love that Indy cover
Can I ask how the infinity gauntlet comic on your wall is fixed? which case is being used to hang it?
Hi I use top loaders with a Velcro tab on the back of the loader. This then stuck to a Velcro tab on the wall
Just started collecting and I can totally understand the " I bought it just because I liked it" or "it brings back nostalgia" ... thats exactly how I look at my collection.
Love the Indiana #1
Is there a list or resource that details what comic the first appearance of each superhero is?
It seems from most comic UA-cam videos I've seen the sought after comics are a) specific artists or covers
b) a #1 issue or
c) the first appearance of 'xxxxxxx'
Nostalgia pays a huge part in my collecting, both comics and toys. I tend to like first appearances and a helpful app for that is key collector, it’s worth a look! Welcome to collecting and the channel!
Loved the intro 😆
Lol cheers mate
I love your style!! I'm not done watching yet, i just wanted to say Thor v Hulk covers rock!! I think you just started a new part of my Hulk collection that I'm going to start!! Thank you!
Cheers mate, love a good hulk v Thor cover! Thanks for watching
❤ great video the fellas name is Short Round
Thanks! Ah yes, I remember the name now! Appreciate you watching
Haha soho is a sight to see, glad you did well in London mate. For bidden planet is great for trade paperback but shite for any silver or bronze comics. Their modern selection is graet however.
Agree mate, thanks for watching
The Incredible Hulk Summer Special looks great!
Love the hulk special. Hope you get it signed one day
Cheers dude, me too!
Love the Lou cover 💚
Cheers ben
To help you to not feel to bad a CGC 6.0 X-Men #58 with postage went for just under £400 on the 4th June, yours looks better than a 6.0 Great vid, really do like your sense of humour!
Lol cheers mate that helps!
There was ample opportunity for a big ben joke i have to admit pal 😄. I love seeing your books cos I know ill never get to own any 😄
The Captain America is my personal fave from the haul tho, definitely my sort of comic. Great job pal
Ah Fuzzy, I can’t believe I missed a Big Ben opportunity! Thanks for watching bud.
Hi. Which market did you do ?I m going to London this week end from Belgium.
Have a nice day
It was Camden market mate, enjoy your trip!
@@TripleGcomics thanks !!
I didn t know that you could find comics at the Camden Market
Never actually saw a pic of the food. Looks naaaaaaaaaasty 😂
I really hope people watch my video to see where we actually went 😅
Great video bud, Really made me laugh 🤣👍

Not 1st Alpha Flight but 1st Guardian I think & actually, possibly the 1st US comic that I ever bought, it seems to be the oldest one in my collection that I remember buying from the newsagent as a kid. Worth £150 now is it? Not a bad investment for 10p. That Marvel Boy is confusing, think he's introduced as Wendell Vaughn in that Cap A you got, becomes Marvel Boy in Hulk 234, or maybe that's when he becomes Quasar, whatever haha
God your old…😜 agree about marvel boy, Iv picked up all the books you mentioned! Appreciate you watching mate
@@TripleGcomics I am mate, I am, not that I show it of course with my boyish good looks
The X Men 58 brings back awful memories for me. I sold a CGC 9.4 about 12 years ago....the price?..£150....still crying.
Ah mate I feel you. Sold lots of books in my time that I regret now! Appreciate you watching 👍
Nice books terrible London Accent though think it went Pete Tong lol
Lol!
