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.

He was intrigued by the unique cover art of the comics.

Retro and rare comic books sold at low prices

As it turns out, the uncle had been selling comics for a while now, and his comics have remained affordable throughout the years.

Back when MS News covered Silver Kris Comics in 2020, the uncle was selling his comics at a steal.

For just S$10, customers could purchase any three comics of their choice.

Today, he continues to sell his retro comics at such low prices.

One comic book costs S$5. Meanwhile, three comics are priced at just S$10.

A must-visit for comic book lovers
