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 |
 |
| The entire graphic novel section in one photo. |
And there's a lot of interesting-looking restaurants in the same block.
