Five stars for hosting my favorite comedian’s book signing! While I couldn’t make Maria Bamford’s signing of Hogbook and Lazer Eyes (?), I’ll make sure to support this business in the very near future.

In southeast Pennsylvania, there is simply no better source for independent comic books, graphic novels and zines. The selection is well curated and the in-store events are memorable and great fun. A truly great place where comic books as an art form are celebrated.

We have a few nice comic shops in town and you will know within an instant whether this is a comic shop you belong in or not. In our household, this is the shop where my wife famously purchased a nicely bound book of a tremendous amount of lines in different patterns (forever known by our teenaged child as "the book with all the lines"). Look, it's like some of that skronky jazz. If you don't "get" it, you have to assume the people who do are not playing a trick on you.For my part, I have never felt quite at ease in this store. It's got that liminal space feel, like you're walking down an endless hall, thinking about the things you have done. The walls absorb all noise, you can hear the blood rushing in your ears. It will remind you of your friends who talk too much about Chicago and how great it is, but you remember the time you were there in winter and how your beard froze and people seemed so miserable. Weather can kill you in a place like that, I tell you.If you are me, you can go here and get your Jesse Jacobs, your occasional Schuiten, your Decadence Press, your Woodring and Burns and Al Columbia. They carry the great Hollow Press. If you're my wife, you buy the books with lines; look, she's got the artist's eye, she has all the credibility in the world. And if you're the comic book person that has that terribly withering internal critic, the one that poisons you inside, the one I always associate with Comics Journal kooks, this is your place too.I docked a star because it really needs music or something to be playing. In Atomic City there's going to be music, there's going to be an atmosphere, some young guy is going to be too loudly proclaiming his love for the Flash. I'm still charmed by that, I still have years left to live on this earth. At this place, you just know you're going to get Pavement or whatever. Like I said, you'll know in an instant.

A large variety of very beautiful comics and other works. The store was sort of setup like an art gallery. The owner was extremely friendly and willing to make sure your items won't get destroyed in transit. A friend of mine from Dallas was in town yesterday and the store offered very reasonable shipping for a large print. If you are looking for a cool inspiration or something fun to read this store will have it!!
