Another British Comics Shop Damaged By Violence

This time, Joe Gordon of Forbidden Planet International writes in, it was the Manchester FPI store that had its storefront damage in the waves of rolling violence that are shuddering through the country right now. He says the damage was much like yesterday's report of harm done the Nostalgia & Comics storefront. "Luckily as with our N&C lot the storefront was damaged but they never got into the store itself and the staff were all fine, thank goodness." He also says that tracking the story was "in a weird way uplifting" because of so many fans and well-wishers expressing concern on twitter and on Facebook. A Wolverhampton store that was rumored to be in the midst of similar street turmoil reported back to Gordon that they have escaped so far without damage. Gordon also promises in that note and in this blog post (which has a photo of damaged glass) that their stores will be open for business today, serving fans and readers on New Comics Day as best as they're able location to location.
