Some years back, I wondered if anybody would step up and maintain, like, a site that lists comics shops worth visiting (when on vacation) and web sites worth visiting when shopping for interesting comics.
That never happened.
So now I’m just gonna start keeping this blog post updated with links and stuff. The first links are just off the top of my head, so I’ll be adding stuff as we go along…
Shops
These are shops that I’ve been at (or heard good things about) and have interesting small press stuff.
San Francisco: Comix Experience
Toronto: The Beguiling Books & Art
(This list does not at all attempt to list all comics shops I’ve visited, just the ones with small press/art comics stuff. Google is great at listing mainstream comics stores, but sucks at saying which ones are worth visiting for this kind of stuff.)
Web Shops
Domino Books, the most awesome seller of fabulous comics
Publishers
These are publishers that have web shops — weirdly enough, most publishers don’t sell directly.
This list includes “international publishers” only, i.e. publishers who publish (some stuff) in English.
If you’ve got stuff to add, please comment on this post and I’ll integrate links.
