DC’s Big Monkey Comics To Close

Following a post in the Washington DC-area blog DCist takes us to the Big Monkey Comics site just in time to learn that they're no longer accepting new comics and they're closing except for a couple of days a week where they'll be selling off inventory. I don't know a ton about Big Monkey; I can't even tell if they've been open since 2007 as indicated here or since 2005, which is the initial date on their site's blog. (It could be both, as I know of at least two recently opened Chicago stores that had their starts as name subscription services before going brick and mortar.) I also can't tell how good-looking a place it was. The "as indicated here" link has a pair of photos that seem quite nice; these are more modest.

The post at DCist tells us that this is a second comic shop to bow out of the general area, although I'm certain that the city and surrounding environs are still well-served. The reason cited for the closure is the economy.
