Comics has lost its mojo
The wait is almost over. The concert is made possible by NMHQR Studio Productions. I will be gathering more information on the concert soon. Would this the first of many international artist concerts after a long dry spell? Let’s hope so..

Mutu was one of the foreigners being shortlisted but he only received a consolation as he failed to unlock the door
Another disappointment as he failed to claim the car

My first meeting with Yvonne in Singapore last December
I stumbled across TigerLim’s post on the clearance sale on one of the longest comic store that has been existing in Brunei. Well, it’s famously known for Chinese comics and also Dragon Ball comics.
I was just talking about comics to my old time buddy, Yazid and both of us were collector of comics back in the 90s *lol* I remember I collected like at least 60 titles a month (a huge chunk of my allowance money) and back in the 90s, there are tons of places to buy comics in Brunei – Best Eastern, Bluestone (closed) and Bookers International.
However, for the past few years, comics have been on a downhill.. Best Eastern was always a collection point for me and I made used of the “Comic Preview” to pre-order my comics. Frankly speaking, I’ve lost that hobby in me and my love for comics just faded in the late 90s. Today, comic collectors can feel the significant drop in the interest of comics.
I also used to buy my comics in Singapore (Serene Centre) and a few more places but now there are hardly any stores that just simply sell comics. I haven’t done any further research on this but the trend is pretty obvious. Could it be because graphic novels are much cost effective? I notice bookstores such as Kinokuniya focuses more on graphic novels instead of comics.
Whatever it is, I’m pretty sad that comics have lost its presence despite their rise in popularity in movie adaptations. By the way, what comic are you? I’m a Marvel, Image and DC collector for your info 🙂

The bookstore is located at Hua Ho Gadong on the 1st floor
Since it’s on the topic of comics, I’m looking for a buyer for my collector items – Wildcats #1 Gold edition signed by Jim Lee and Pitt #1. I don’t know how much they are worth now *lol*
