2009 BEST OF SILICON VALLEY Reader Survey Winner - First Place
Best Comics Store
Not that this book store isn't a landmark in Willow Glen, and an essential part of a Saturday-morning stroll on Lincoln Avenue. And not that it doesn't carry the best in comics old and new but its blog is extremely well written, too. It seems that, webwise, the focus of so many comics fans is What will the movie adaptation be like? So it's refreshing to see the store's focus on the graphic artists themselves Moore, Eisner, Crumb, Peter Bagge's well as the newer talents such as Adrian Tomine. Even with all the scene reports from San Diego, I hadn't heard elsewhere that Moore's Miracleman has been bought up by Marvel (whom I guess we should refer to as Disney/Marvel): meaning a reprint soon for the all-time best supervillain death scene.
