I visited Berlin recently, and as always, I tried to find some comic book stores with interesting comics. Which is always a problem.
But after binging for several minutes, I visited Modern Graphics. It’s a warren of a store with crowded shelves and connected rooms, but it has a large selection of comics created by people from Berlin. Which is what I was looking for.
I do kinda read some German, but it’s slow going, so I picked out a bunch that were either in English or were mostly silent.
In addition to the local selection they had a bunch of interesting comics from elsewhere. Really nice store.
Grober Unfug is a very different kind of comics store. It’s open and airy and carries mostly graphic novels (and there may have been a room at the back with super-hero comics? I did not venture there). I didn’t really find that much to buy there, though…
But I did find this very pointed silent book:
It’s by Marc-Antoine Mathieu and looks quite interesting. Haven’t read it yet, though.
I should get a job as a professional comic book store traveller…
