Go, Look: Fantagraphics Store Opening

image

You can see the now officially opened Fantagraphics store and the gallery nearby hosting an exhibit for the Fantagraphics book Beasts!, both with tons of people in them last Friday evening, by going to the Fantagraphics blog generally or entries here, here, here, here, here and here specifically. There are a lot of comics industry folk and cartoonists to look at as well as checking out the scene aspects of the grand opening event.

I think the Fantagraphics store is interesting because it potentially hits a way different audience for books than the average comic shop: weekend shoppers, out-of-town visitors/tourists, and event-goers. It would have been great to have a space like this for events when I was in Seattle, and I look forward to directing comics folk to someplace nicer than the Fantagraphics warehouse when they ask me about things to do in my former place of residence.
