Go, Look: Retailer Retirement Party

I enjoyed this report and accompanying photo array about the retirement of one of the world's first modern comics stores, Fantask in Copenhagen. I loved being able to buy comics at Ross Grocery Store and I love being able to buy them at Barnes & Noble, but the comic book store is very important to comics in terms of its ability to carry way more books than any other outlet can and to communicate the weight of the art form and the culture that surrounds it. Neither of these things is guaranteed, but the extent they do occur constitutes a great strength of the art form. I sleep a little bit better at night knowing that at least one part of comics' unclear future is in the hands of a lot of folks who are experienced, savvy and in it for life, and it's nice to be reminded of that.
