Oh, that'd work.

Sad news, comic book fans! Comic Relief in Berkeley, the best stocked comic book store I've ever seen, is closed.

There's a sign up saying that the owner of Dark Carnival (an East Bay science fiction bookstore) has bought the stock, though, and is hiring on the staff to open a new store. However, there's no date for it and it's likely it won't be in downtown Berkeley but in the out-of-the-way Claremont area, near Dark Carnival.

That's for real? Someone was saying that and I didn't believe it, since I was just there in January. That's very sad.

I've never been to Dark Carnival.

It's actually a great store. Smallish space with odd off rooms and an upstairs and packed to the ceiling with stock. Disorganized, but in a way I don't mind.

But it's inconveniently located if you don't have a car.

It was not you, but good try! It was someone at my comic book club.

Here's a nice obit: [link]

Basically, the original owner, Rory Root, passed away in 2008, and the store couldn't recover from that blow.

I was looking through old issues of Fantagraphics Amazing Hero’s and Comics Journals and found some nifty pieces of art from a few very talented fellows before they were stars….

My first day of Emerald City Comic Con can be summed up thus:

I spent the evening in a bar with Darick Robertson.

Let's see what day two will bring.

Whoa, lovely and unexpected Will Eisner tribute by Google.

Very cool.

Nice!
