If you live in Seattle,USA,then remember:if you want to check it out there is the Fantagraphics Book Store -if you’re from outside Seattle and plan a visit include this on your “places to go” list.  Larry Reid,above,is in charge and there are some interesting events coming up.

Hey,let the people explain it themselves!

Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery        

Your Northwest Comix Destination

If you live in or plan to visit the great Pacific Northwest, be sure to visit our very own storefront, simply called the Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery, in the happenin’ Seattle neighborhood of Georgetown. The culmination of a years-long dream, the store opened in October 2006, with a grand opening celebration held on December 2 of that year (and swinging anniversary parties each year thereafter). The store contains everything Fantagraphics has in print (as well as our adult imprint Eros Comix), including exclusive merchandise, plus a selection of the best alternative comics from our fellow publshers and other surprises!

It also houses our hallowed Damaged Room, featuring heavily discounted and often out-of-print books unavailable anywhere else. (And vinyl junkies be warned: the Bookstore shares space with Georgetown Records,a Seattle record-collectors’ mecca. And it is just a short stroll from some of

Seattle’s best and most beloved coffee shops,taverns,eateries and art spaces.) 

The space also has room for art exhibitions, with a new exhibit mounted about once a month. We also host readings,screenings, music and other performances. Our current and upcoming events include: 

• May 9 – June 10, 2009: Tony Millionaire, Drinky Crow (details TBA)

• June 13 – July 8, 2009: Jason (details TBA) 

Be sure to check our bookstore Event Listings and/or subscribe to our Bookstore RSS feed to keep up to date on all of our current and upcoming happenings.

 

And,if like me,you are having withdrawl symptoms because nothing new is appearing from Gilbert Hernandez and it’s been a while since the new Love & Rockets book #1 appeared,you may be screaming:”WHERE IS ISSUE 2?!!”

 

I asked Kim Thompson  over at FB and he says they are hoping the book will be ready for San Diego and released in August/September.  I know,I almost fainted when I realised that’s still 4-5 months away! But that’s the plan so keep saving those pennies!
