I have some answers. First of all American comic books are defined as comic books from the United States of America. This means not anime, manga or whatever! If you can’t find Japanese comic books in Asia then you have more serious problems than where to find American comic books. Asia on the whole prefers Japanese comic books to American comic books by a factor of ten at least. British stuff, especially 2000 AD stuff is found in the same places as American comic books which is why I initially titled this post where you can find Western comic books but I mean Western as in culture not as in cowboys and the latter meaning was misleading.
First of all there is a Japanese chain called Kinokuniya that is all over Asia. The chain sucks when it comes to Western comic books in Japan but is pretty good about having Western comic books in their stores outside of Japan.
Below is a list of Kinokuniya stores in Asia:
Singapore
Ngee Ann City, Orchard
Bugis Junction, Bugis
Liang Court, Chinatown
Indonesia
Sogo Plaza Senayan, Jakarta
Debenhams Plaza Indonesia, Jakarta
Sogo Pondok Indah Mall, Jakarta
Seibu Grand Indonesia, Jakarta
Malaysia
Suria KLCC, Kuala Lumpur
Thailand
CentralWorld, Bangkok
Siam Paragon, Bangkok – The best source of Western comic books outside of the Philippines!
Emporium, Bangkok
Australia
I mention the store but of course Australia is basically a Western country that happens to be in Asia and Western comic books are everywhere.
Sydney The Galeries Victoria, New South Wales
Taiwan
Dayeh Takashimaya, Taipei
Breeze Center, Taipei
Kuang San Sogo, Taichung
Talee Isetan, Kaoshiung
United Arab Emirates
Dubai, Dubai Mall
Page One is a Singaporean chain of bookstores that is also all over Asia and also has a pretty good selection of Western comic books.
Page One locations are listed below:
Singapore
Vivocity
Malaysia
Suria KLCC, Kuala Lumpur
Hong Kong
Festival Walk, Kowloon Tong (with cafe)
Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui
Times Square, Causeway Bay (formerly known as Page One Twins)
Taiwan
SOGO Fuxing, Taipei
Taipei 101, Taipei
The best country in Asia for Western comic books, besides Australia, is the Philippines. All the major chains have a section devoted to Western comic books and there are out and out dedicated comic book stores in most of the big malls in Manila.
