Why are people queuing in Newcastle this Saturday morning? You might want to join in!

Shoppers in Newcastle could not fail to spot early morning queues forming in Grainger Street on Saturday morning.

Lines of people were spotted waiting patiently for a certain shop to open - and for comic book fans it would be clearly worth the wait.

Saturday is Free Comic Book Day and to mark the annual event the popular Forbidden Planet store had plenty giveaways ready for its 9.30am opening.

Prior to that, the Travelling Man shop just a couple of doors down the street had opened especially early for the same purpose.

It meant several of the queue could stock up on freebies there, when it opened its doors at 8am, and then take a place outside Forbidden Planet, which specialises in science fiction fantasy.

Among them was 28-year-old Ben Leslie from Bedlington, Northumberland, who had already picked up two free comics in Travelling Man, having arrived at the shop at 6am.
