UK back issues

[Archer]

I'm looking to buy a load of Marvel back issues, X-Men mainly, nothing special or rare - the kind of comics I'd probably find in quarter bins etc if I lived in the US. Problem is I'm in the UK, and it can be hard to get cheap back issues over here. Does anyone know of any online or mail order places that stock cheap back issues? I've ordered some stuff from the current Forbidden Planet catalogue, but more options = good.

Also, are there any US-based online shops that specialise in cheap back issues? The best I can find is Mile High Comics, but the prices there seem pretty steep (especially as I'll have to pay a good bit for shipping).

Online shops != auctions

Future Shock - http://futureshockbks.blogspot.com/ (they didn't have an online catalogue last I checked, but they've got a good selection, and can be sent a wish list easily enough)

Thirtieth Century Comics - http://www.thirtiethcentury.free-online.co.uk/
Big selection of back issues.

Avalon Comics - http://www.thirtiethcentury.free-online.co.uk/ Another decent selection of US back issues

Silver Acre Comics - http://www.silveracre.com/ Huge selection, can sometimes be pricey, but specialise in mail order.

Krypton Comics - http://www.kryptonkomics.co.uk/ No idea how good they are, just found them online while getting the urls for the above.

There's loads more, but these should be good places to start.

www.mycomicshop.com - seems like a nice big and cheap selection

Someone already mentioned them, but I have been using silveracre.com for about 2 years now and I have always found them to be exceptional.
Their range is amazing, I think there has only been one time when they did'nt have what I was looking for.
Their prices are very reasonable and they deliver quickly. Dont remember ever having to wait more than 3 days for my orders to be delivered.
Plus one time I ordered nearly £1500 worth of back issues and because I was placing such a large order they gave me a 10% discount (so I used the extra cash to buy MORE COMICS!!!).
Also, they have a lot of rare, limited, signed, etc comics.
Really can't praise them enough. Give them a look.
