Wanderer Owl was a "doujinshi and comic goods" vendor based in Thailand. They shipped internationally and their website was available in both Thai and English.

The site primarily sold Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Fullmetal Alchemist doujinshi, but also sold products from a number of other fandoms.

The site officially closed in early 2017.[1]

History

Before moving to wanderer-owl.com, Wanderer Owl's webpage was located at GeoCities. It moved in 2009, shortly before GeoCities's closure in late October.[2] The Wayback Machine first archived the site in April 2005, which shows updates back to March 2, 2005.[3]

Wanderer Owl's Yahoo! Groups mailing list was founded on May 5, 2005. As of 2013, the group had been last updated in May 2012, with the last new doujinshi announcement in August 2011.[4] As of June 2017, the Yahoo! group has been deleted and the website states that it has "closed shop".
