Marine Parade Shop Owner Sella Retro Comic Books At Low Prices
With the brand new release of ‘Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse’, superhero films have certainly proven themselves to remain popular.
Superhero comics, however, seem to have lost their spark in modern society.
Looking to relive the nostalgia of comic books, a Facebook user recently visited Silver Kris Comics in Marine Parade.
