(331)

If you live in or plan to visit the great Pacific Northwest, be sure to visit our very own storefront, simply called the Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery, in the happenin' Seattle neighborhood of Georgetown. The culmination of a years-long dream, the store opened in October 2006, with a grand opening celebration held on December 2 of that year (and swinging anniversary parties each year thereafter). The store contains everything Fantagraphics has in print (as well as our adult imprint Eros Comix), including exclusive merchandise, plus a selection of the best alternative comics from our fellow publshers and other surprises! It also houses our hallowed Damaged Room, featuring heavily discounted and often out-of-print books unavailable anywhere else. (And vinyl junkies be warned: the Bookstore shares space with Georgetown Records, a Seattle record-collectors' mecca. And it is just a short stroll from some of Seattle's best and most beloved coffee shops, taverns, eateries and art spaces.) The space also has room for art exhibitions, with a new exhibit mounted about once a month. We also host readings, screenings, music and other performances.

Last summer at San Diego Comicon our publisher picked up several cartons of Moomin collections at a steep discount. We’ll pass those savings on to customers with a 20% discount through the end of September. See you soon.

Save the date! Joe Sacco and Chris Hedges discuss their important new book Requiem for Gaza on Monday October 12 at Town Hall in Seattle. Don’t miss this compelling conversation. Details in comments.

Don’t be deterred by traffic cones. Some much appreciated deferred maintenance on our historic building. The boookshop is easily accessible during construction, which should be done by Friday.

Sad day in Seattle as we lost a favorite son on this date in 1970. I first experienced Jimi Hendrix on September 6, 1968. As an impressionable adolescent I thought it was a magic show. In hindsight I think I was right. RIP. (Image by another brilliant Seattle native Charles Burns).

Curiously, both Ed Sheeran and Macklemore have recorded videos right outside our bookstore. Between them, “Shape of You” and “Thrift Shop” have accumulated nearly 9 billion views on YouTube. (The planet’s population is 8.3 billion). Both artists were charming during our brief encounters. I might add that I personally see nothing particularly provocative in Ben’s desire to end the suffering of innocents in Gaza. Free Palestine!

EDIT: Please respect diverse opinions and remain civil in comments. Also seems like an opportunity to announce Joe Sacco’s new book Requiem for Gaza coming out October 6. Joe and co-author Chris Hedges will appear at Town Hall in Seattle on Monday October 12 discussing the book. See you there.

I’m continually amazed at the rare material that magically appears on our shelves. Like this comix compilation of Wild Man Fischer stories by Dennis Eichhorn, J. R. Williams, Mary Fleener, and more. Signed and hand dated (4/19/04) by the legendary firebrand himself. New old stock. Cover price. Store only.

You may encounter some road closures related to today’s the R Day festivities. Plenty of parking available in close proximity to the bookstore. Hope to see you soon. (Poster by Pat Moriarity, signing right outside the shop).

Tomorrow! Begin your R-Day festivities early at the bookstire. Live music, art, comix, and b**r, of course. Cheers!
