As always, we have FREE COMICS every day at the Escapist Comic Bookstore. First 2 comics on the sidewalk sale table are FREE. 50 cents per copy after that.
We got a deal on a shipment of books and are passing the savings on to you. We put them out together this weekend so they can be easy to find. After that they will be put on the shelves to surprise you in the future. The books run the gamut of Simpsons to "how-to" books to Y the Last Man. The Old Lady Harley graphic collection is just $5!
It's nice to get a break every once in a while, isn't it?
This Spring our store was selected by our fellow comic book retailers as having the best graphic novel section in Diamond Distributors Best Retail Practices Awards. The Diamond Retail BPAs seek to identify and honor comic book specialty retailers that demonstrate best practices in their stores, thereby offering their patrons and community a consistently appealing shopping experience. We feel honored to receive this award.
Hey, come check it out for yourself.
Keep checking this page to see what the September book will be.
We love the small independent presses. We carry many of them, including a lot of local creators and and students studying comics at the California College of Art. You should check out our indie comic section. There may be something there for you. Here is a sampling of independent / small press comics that we just got in!
New Titles as of July 2019
Though once widely seen across the globe, the Signing Gaiman has been a bit elusive in recent years. A short while ago one was spotted at Dark Carnival as this breed is known to frequent bookstores. An astute watcher got a photo of him leaving his mark on some books that are now available at both Dark Carnival and at our store.
If you have never been to our store, YOU SHOULD READ THIS REVIEW. One of our new customers has a blog and she really likes the store. She gives you a complete tour that will make you want to hop in that car, train, boat, or plane to get yourself here. Check her blog out at: GeekMomLife
Hosted by Escapist Comic Staff (Jessica Balboni and Jesse Hett), the Escapist Comics Podcast features reviews of the current week's comics and insightful and often comedic looks at comics today, comic book movies, tv, celebrities, and sometimes a bit of gossip. If it looks like a comic and smells like a comic, it's fair game. Many of the podcasts feature comic creator interviews. Those who have appeared on the podcast include Rick Remender, Brian Wood, Alex de Campi, Becky Cloonan, Matteo Pizzolo, Matthew Rosenberg, Babs Tarr, Jason Latour and countless others. (well maybe it's a number you can count to but that doesn't sound anywhere as good as "countless", does it?)
