    First thing you would need to do is find out if a comics distributor would even ship to Fiji.
    Hope is not lost today. It is found.

    Try contacting Diamond, I think they deal with international stuff too. Keep an eye on your costs though, you may have to pay too much in import fees that it may not be worth it.
