Technologies and Comics

This place is so camp, there’s no other word for it. Although fans of manga might beg to differ. First of all, it doesn’t even look like a shop — more like a warehouse with boxes and boxes all over the place, some unpacked, some overflowing with goods, and some, strangely enough, just empty and sitting there.
But if you can get through the mess, you’ll find some amazingly cool stuff here: superhero figurines (lots of Asian ones that I have no idea of who they are but they look terrific!), comic books the size of half a coffee table; miniature comics; and countless DVDs.
Even if you’re not into comic culture, it’s fun just cruising the shelves (and boxes!) of this place. And I just love the way the official sign out the front doesn’t even have an ‘s’ at the end of it, hence reads ‘Technologies & Comic’. Like I said, camp.

Technologies and comics is a crazy shop.
Filled with random books, figurines and videos this is a visual representation of an asian garage sale when the homeowners were regulars at the local video store. Perplexed? Me too– I was strolling by when the signage caught me and a pirate flag in the window lured me in. The store looks like it’s constantly being unpacked and there are bits and pieces randomly juxtaposed in a way that made me feel that I would need t visit this shop at least twice more to make sense of the layout!
The stock is quirky and unmistakeably Asian and the people here are happy to let you explore. The $ 1 bargain box caught my eye and there are bits and pieces that evoke a smile, if not complete bewilderment.
If you’re a hard core comic buff, maybe this isn’t going to give you your desired fix, but if you’re open to new angles and are happy to leave your expectations at the door– Technologies and comics is worth a peek.
