The Comic Dunes Dubai—legendary collector, desert-based comic whisperer, and proud protector of panels since the '80s—has finally decided to part with his sacred stash of comics for charity. Yes, the man who once bubble-wrapped his Fantastic Four #1 before bubble-wrapping himself during a sandstorm is now giving back. Assisted by his legendary best friend, Anirudh Tripathi—who's basically the Alfred to his Batman, the Luigi to his Mario, and the only person he trusts to alphabetize his X-Men issues—they’ve teamed up for the ultimate charity drive. The duo has been seen lugging comic boxes like superheroes in flip-flops, arguing over whether Wolverine deserves his own donation box (he does). Inspired by the brilliant initiative of the BKK Comics Art Festival to spread comics across Thailand and beyond, they’re on a mission to turn longbox clutter into global good. “If a single Batman can build a school or an Iron Man can buy some meals,” says Comic Dunes, holding a rare issue aloft like it’s Mjolnir, “then let the comics fly free!” Meanwhile, Anirudh is in the background, duct-taping boxes, swatting sand out of his eyes, and yelling, “That’s not a donation pile, that’s your Iron Man shrine!” Because when best friends do charity together, it's heartwarming, heroic—and mildly chaotic. And that’s exactly why The Comic Dunes Dubai booth is the one booth you can’t afford to miss. Where else will you find decades of desert-preserved treasures, stories wrapped tighter than a mummy’s bandages, and two best friends haggling over whether Spider-Man or Superman makes the better raffle prize? Every comic you pick up is not just a collectible—it’s a ticket to making the world a little brighter. Come for the rare gems, stay for the chaos, and leave knowing your purchase fuels a cause bigger than even Galactus’s appetite.
