This is my first time posting on Reddit, let alone selling anything, so I apologise if this whole post sounds weird. I also apologise if I didn't put in any tags under the post, as I've no idea what tag to use.

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some reliable/genuine comic book stores or websites in India, other than Amazon.
I’m mainly looking for Omnibus, Deluxe Editions, and newer releases like the Absolute series. I’ve come across a few resellers, but the prices are often quite high, so I’m hoping to find some genuine sellers with more reasonable/retail pricing.
Amazon sometimes has really good discounts, but some books are also heavily overpriced depending on the seller.
Even if there’s a DC-affiliated store or an authorised retailer in India, I’d love to know about it.

Would really appreciate any recommendations from fellow Indian collectors! 🙌

Been into collecting comics since the past year.
Love this hobby. Cant believe i have spent so much on books though. Been watching other folks post here too. Feels nice that there is an active Indian community for this niche interest.

I can’t express how much i loved this. The krypton story and the current time’s story works so well together. I want to talk more but it might be spoilers so I won’t.

This is easily a must read and I can’t wait to get my hands on vol 2

I’m currently considering White Knight, Dark Victory, Gotham Central, Under the Red Hood, Dark Knight Returns, Kingdom Come, All-Star Superman and a few others.
I’m also waiting for Absolute Batman Vol. 3, but the current Indian pre-order prices are crazy, so I’ll probably wait for the paperback to become reasonably priced.
What would you add next to this collection? And which Batman/DC book do you consider an absolute must-own?

Check all the images for condition. More pics will be provided if really interested in buying.

X Men and Galactus comics have minor veins/creases on spine. Pages good. Covers decent.

Daredevil cover has stapler holes. Spine is okayish. Fine condition overall. No inside pages torn.

[ Do not waste your time or mine, msg only if Interested. Thanks for understanding ]

Selling from Lucknow. Ship Via Delhivery only.

As you can see big fan of spider man and wanted to start a comic book collection with something easy and not a lot of back story to it.
Found these three and rest is history. Although since they are in a mint condition I also don’t want to open them. 🤭

Although I’m well aware of the Batman universe because of the animated movies, I never really bothered to pick up a physical comic before. After doing some pocket friendly research, I decided to start my journey with Batman:Hush and after finishing it, I thought to share my opinion with all of you.

Batman: Hush is often recommended as one of the best entry points into Batman and after finishing it I can understand why. What makes it work so well for a new reader is how naturally it brings together Batman’s past and present. Characters like Joker, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Ra’s al Ghul, Talia, Nightwing, Robin, Jason Todd and Clayface all appear without the story feeling like a checklist of Batman characters. It even draws on major pieces of Batman’s history, particularly Jason Todd’s death and the Joker’s attack on Barbara Gordon in The Killing Joke, while still telling its own mystery.

The part I enjoyed most was Thomas Elliot. Introducing Bruce Wayne’s childhood friend and then slowly revealing the complicated history between them gives the story an emotional layer beyond the usual Batman-villain conflict. For a while it genuinely feels like Tommy might become someone from Bruce’s past who represents the life he could have had outside Batman. That made the eventual Hush revelation hit harder. Just when the story seems to be building toward an emotional arc about friendship, betrayal and Bruce reconnecting with someone from his childhood, we discover that Tommy’s hatred for Bruce has been driving the whole thing.

However the one part I didn’t completely love was the Riddler reveal. Finding out that Riddler was ultimately the mastermind behind the conspiracy felt a little underwhelming to me. After all the chaos and the emotional weight built around Tommy Elliot, I would have preferred Thomas Elliot himself to remain the main villain. The Riddler twist reminded me of most of the Dhruv comics where after an entire story of mystery and mayhem, we suddenly discover that Robo was actually the ultimate villain pulling the strings. It isn’t necessarily a bad twist but it felt less satisfying than the story I thought was building towards.

In fact I think the story would have been stronger if Tommy Elliot had simply been the mastermind. His personal connection with Bruce already gave him everything the villain needed: motive, history and emotional stakes. Making him Hush and the ultimate architect of the conspiracy would have made the ending feel more personal.

The Jason Todd sequence though was one of the most interesting parts for me. Batman briefly believing that Jason might somehow be alive was a brilliant way of showing how deeply Jason’s death still affects Bruce. And that naturally makes me want to go back and read the connected story Batman: A Death in the Family (1988).

Overall Hush is a fantastic introduction to Batman because it doesn’t just introduce Batman’s villains but it introduces Batman himself, his relationships, his history, his trauma and the people who have shaped him. The mystery may get a little too convoluted by the end but the combination of Jeph Loeb’s storytelling and Jim Lee’s artwork makes it an entertaining Batman story.

I grew up reading Raj Comics in early 2000s (Yeah I’m old) and for the longest time, my idea of the Indian superhero universe was pretty much limited to Nagraj, Super Commando Dhruva, Doga, Bhokal, Parmanu and the rest of the Raj Comics gang. (Will post my RC collection soon :)That was my superhero world and honestly, I was surprisingly reluctant to branch out. I’ve been collecting comics for a while but recently I went down a completely different rabbit hole: Holy Cow!

What I really like about this publication is how freely it moves between genres. Their books cover mythology, horror, sci-fi, history, supernatural fiction and action, often with a very distinctly Indian flavour and the artwork is honestly one of the biggest reasons I keep picking these up. Just look at some of these covers.

My current collection includes:
Sampoorna Aghori: Their massive mythology/fantasy collection
Shaitan Singh
The Caster
The Last Asuran
That Man Solomon: Born Again
W.O.M.E. (Weapons of Mass Extinction) 3 parts
Operation Decay Volume 1–5
Ravanayan The complete edition
Dehek Part 1

I particularly love that these don’t feel like attempts to simply imitate Marvel or DC. They’re taking Indian mythology, folklore, history and horror and building their universe around them.
Some of the covers look absolutely insane in person and the physical editions are beautiful too.

Another thing I really appreciate about Holy Cow! is that they’re building a connected canon universe, where characters and stories are linked to each other in different ways. So it isn’t simply a collection of standalone, linear stories. You gradually start noticing connections between different characters and worlds. It gives the whole publication the feeling of something much more ambitious like the creators are deliberately building a larger universe and trying to do something different with Indian comics.
