Oz ,'Chosen'
Discussion of comics, graphic novels, and more. Except for capes. No capes!
Please use spoiler font for new releases until after the weekend following release.
I love the name, though. Million Year Picnic.
That's where I did all my comic shopping when I lived in Cambridge. I'd be there on Thursday night after work with the other geeks when they opened up the boxes. That's where I first read Love and Rockets #3 and 4, and made them go dig around in their warehouse so I could get #1 and 2.
Newbury Comics is where I got my George of the Jungle t-shirt, and my Husker Du single of "8 Miles High."
Newbury is a chain now (I don't know if it always was), so there are ones within driving distance (and convenient parking) -- ones that don't involve navigating the streets of Cambridge (and Somerville and/or Arlington, depending on my route). I like my local indy shop. Ben gets Yu-Gi-Oh and sports cards there, and I bought Fray there. They have an enormous collection of old stuff, too.

Despite the name, the amount of comics they have may vary by location. I'd expect the in Boston/Cambridge stores to have the Buffy comic, but I'm not so sure about further out of the Hub; they've been more of a music store (and lately general pop-culture geegaws) for yoinks now.
The Dark Horse website had a store locator that included both non-Newbury shops, and Newbury shops in the suburbs.
Man, Jo Chen is great at making covers that I want to frame.

R. Crumb isn't looking so hot these days: [link]
Really? He looks pretty healthy to me. Personally, I think Aline\'s a lot more scary looking....
But Aline has always looked that way. Robert's aged a lot since the documentary.
Fair point. Though he\'d probably look younger without the beard.
