comics - as understood here -are relatively new in china. living in london, sure is not difficult to find anything. i advice you to look for books for children or books of short histories for foreigners. in my opinion, the best are the ones a bit older, from late 80's to 90's. they are clearer, not so trendy. I have the spanish version of the "pocket interpreter" (chinese) by the foreign languages editorial from 1991. highly recommendable, very useful and cheap. sure there's an english version. it got simple phrases for travellers (not in Lonely planet fashion), a short dictionary and everything's got characters and pinyin.

As for books there are many. most are children's books they have both the character and the pinyin. I have a few at my home like journey to the west. at work I've seen many. idioms stories, animal stories, stories about chinese history etc. As for comic books. I have not seen them. However, at my chinese school they have some magazines called Chinese Learning from the Beijing Language and Cultural University (special order as I have not seen them in other places) which do have articles in pinyin, english and chinese.
