In Melbourne I know of two stores selling Futurama Comics, Minotaur and Comics R Us. But it appears you're a Queenslander, so that's not much help. You should be able to find a good online store, I'm sure someone here knows of one. But if you really want the cheapest prices, you might be better off waiting for the Australian releases, if you can bear being that far behind the rest of the world (here we're waiting for issue 9 to hit newsagents, whereas I recently picked up the direct edition of #16).

I'm from Perth, and every issue seems to cost $5.50 here no matter where I look. They cost even more to get mail delivered from Bongo, due to the postage & handling expenses. Still, issues are very easy to find in shops over here - I only know of one newsangency that doesn't stock them.
It's not really so much the price of them, considering that they only come out every 3 months & they don't really cost that much anyway, but it's more or less how behind we are. We're about 8/9 issues behind them, and we're never going to catch up at this rate.
So, if you want to be ahead & buy issues directly from America - go to an official comic book store. They import upcoming issues from the USA, and it only costs about 50 cents more.
Either way, I doubt you'd see an issue in Australia for less than 5 bucks.

Because there's not much point paying P+H charges to get comics sent from Tasmania if you live in Brisbane. i dont think they are there in tasmania[i used to live there]but it says that they are i NSW, according to sending pictures & mail

Originally posted by Dolcelannah: Anyway, I (like Beamer) live in Perth and the only place I can actually find Futurama comics is at Quality Comics on Hay Street. Really? Wow, I've seen Futurama Comics in just about every Newsagency in this city - in fact, the ones owned by Newspower almost always seem to stock them. They're usually right next to the Simpsons Comics in the stores. I can't believe you haven't found them anywhere else... Unless you've been looking at a bad time. They come out every 3 months, but they tend to take them off the shelves after 2 months - so there's always a month period right before new issues come out. Anyway, #9 is out right now - and I've personally found it very easy to get. Like I said, maybe you've just been looking in the wrong places at the wrong times?

Interesting note: On issue 9 in America, from what I've seen on the net, a caption on the front page says: MADE IN THE USA! (printed in canada). In Australia, there is no caption. Pretty stupid, IMO.

I hate getting a mutilated version of a foreign product. I prefer something that's either actually Australian, or isn't and doesn't pretend to be.

Besides, you'd have to be an idiot not to know that Futurama is made in America, anyway. Hell - that issue even has the Statue of Liberty on the cover! I don't see why they removed it, it's a pretty funny joke and it's not like it's offensive or anything.

Hey guys, im from Perth too Otto Press is the actual company that distributes Futurama comics in Australia for Bongo. If your having any trouble getting a hold of any issues (past or present) you can subscribe or get back issues from them. By sending a money order, credit card etc. I love Quality Comics & Empire. We need a Perth Futurama fan club hahaha
