Comic book mail-order UK

Who are the best back-issue people for mail-order in the UK - ideally people that are trustworthy and that you can do all the orders and stuff through the net.

I remember ACE being pretty cool, and Stateside. But that's about it. It's been a long time since I bought any comic books mail order...

I rarely buy back issues through mail order (mainly cos i love the chase of attempting to trach down missing issues)

But Abstract Sprocket in Norwich is great on its standing order mail service and they tend to have a pretty impressive array of back issues.

There is a store which is just up the road from Forbidden Planet , where Bloomsbury Street/Shaftsbury Ave meets New Oxford Street. They had a pretty good collection of back issues when I went in there a few weeks ago.

I've never used the service myself, but they also do a mail order service and will track back issues down for you if you give them a wants list.

I can't remember the name of the place and they don't seem to have a website although I seem to remember a URL being on one of their bags.

Yeah I tried there, and they didn't have what I wanted. Basically I've been to all the main central london places - comicana, forbidden planet, comics showcase and gosh and none of them have them... I'm looking for JLA 207,208 and 209 and the All-Star Squadrons from that period too. Any ideas?!
