As much as your average beardy academic will pour scorn on graphic novels, those in the know are well aware that some of the best fiction of the last century has come in this form. I recently finished an epic called Maus. It's a retelling of a young guy's experience of the holocaust, with all the characters drawn as anthromorphic animals. As you can imagine, it's a barrel of laughs.\n\nForbidden Planet is probably the best option in town for such cutting edge delights, and while their selection isn't quite as good as othee Forbidden Planet stores, they more than makes up for it by having an absolutely fantastic toy section. An enormous Domo in the window is the jewel in the crown, but there's loads more too, from manga plush toys to unbelievably detailed video game character figurines.
