Most of the bookstores, distributors, or the comics publishers themselves don&#39;t give you a complete lists of titles available in their kitty. Not even on their official websites.<br /><br />So, I am happy that this kind of posts at Comicology, with the list of comics available in batches, would help all those aspiring comikers, who want own them in their collection. You being among them, is my sweetest achievement :).Rafiq Rajahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04589402571072945860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18147827.post-34336644280577982822009-06-15T17:27:07.744+05:302009-06-15T17:27:07.744+05:30I have recently decided to buy the cinebooks and was wondering what titles they have so far published.

Good to see a comment from someone in the Publishing Industry. Do come back often to share the readers with your expert opinions.<BR/><BR/><B>Pathy:</B> Hmm... a Nice way to escape out on a treat for the tip. :) Anyways, nice to be of help in collecting these vintage titles.<BR/><BR/><B>Terry:</B> Welcome back. I just happened to visit to your blog while searching for Cinebook, and found your reviews on them. Would collate them when I update this blog topic.<BR/><BR/><B>Siv:</B> In Comics Business any Publisher not only needs passion but a good acumen to consider it as a profit making business. Vijayan doesn't seem to be interested enough to revive the Tamil Comics Industry, inbetween his mainstream job. So, don't expect much from him. You can keep your Comics Passion alive by moving onto other titles like Cinebooks, eventhough they aren't going to be available on Tamil.<BR/><BR/><B>Mahesh:</B> I did collect all the available Cinebook titles as noted above, and will update the blog with the reviews shortly.<BR/><BR/><B>Red:</B>The Only Store Chain in Chennai which houses these Cinebook titles is Landmark. I see that they have branches in Mumbai too... Do browse and pick them up.<BR/><BR/>Cinebooks seem to have been distributed directly in India by the UK publishers, hence no info on any Indian Contacts over here. Maybe Erica could be of help in getting those contacts.Rafiq Rajahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04589402571072945860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18147827.post-73121326435804285022008-06-24T00:16:00.000+05:302008-06-24T00:16:00.000+05:30Hi Raja can you let us know what stores stock them ?
