Forbidden Planet closing doors on Glasgow Buchanan Street as fans mark ‘end of an era’

For comic book fans of a certain generation, Forbidden Planet’s Buchanan Street store will hold lots of memories of those first trips into the city centre, and parting with hard-earned pocket money.

The city centre branch, a decades-old, one-stop shop for all things comic and cult film and television, is closing down this week.

Confirming its last day as Wednesday (May 11), Forbidden Planet posted on Facebook: “It’s the final few days before we close the door on our Buchanan St outlet store FOREVER. Get down today and pick up a bargain because EVERYTHING IS 60% OFF.”
