Comics at Lost City Books in Adams Morgan

 Lost City Books is an excellent bookstore run by Politics and Prose graphic novel programmer alumni Adam Waterreus and a really pleasant staff. I was there this weekend dropping off a large part of my Dad's paperback collection (mysteries, suspense, Mickey Spillane, and signed Dick Francis hardcovers) to see if they're interested in it. While my wife browsed the books, I checked out the comics offerings which are pictured below.

 

 
A Kim Deitch collection at $100. Is it rare?
 




In Adam's picks we can see David Small's recent graphic novel. Adam brought him to the store to speak.

Mattie Lubachansky's Boys Weekend is a staff pick (pro tip - Fantom might have signed copies still)

The Bubbles fanzine out of Richmond - a surprise to find.

An engaged customer

Bumper stickers!

Burn's Big Baby, Caza's Arkadi for $100, Chaykin's Black Kiss collection.

Society is Nix old strip reprints from Pete Maresca.

A Ghibli book I didn't know about

Windsor-Smith's Weapon X and Clowes' Monica were shelved up high

X of Swords in a display case. I don't know why it was.

P. Craig Russell in a display case I understand.

14 volumes of gay comic Meatmen for $500


Not comics, but she writes them as Ursula Vernon.

The rest of the photos are of the actual graphic novel section

And there's a lot of interesting-looking restaurants in the same block.
