While the Om Book Shops at the malls don’t store too many comics, the one at Priya complex proves to be more promising. With a great collection including Superman last son of Krypton, Batman year one, Spiderman spider verse, Phantom, and of course Calvin and Hobbes, it’s easy to spend hours in this store.

If you just want to spend a while going through comics while drinking some lager and devouring some delicious snacks, you can always head to What A Comic Show in SDA. Their comics are not for sale, but there’s nothing stopping you from perching yourself in a chair and spending a few leisurely hours engrossed in the pursuits of your favourite character.
