Store

Meet the once and future King of Comix. You could easily spend hours at Fantagraphics, browsing through titles by Jim Woodring, Ellen Forney, Richard Sala, Gary Panter, Dame Darcy and others — touching on subjects as sensitive as gay relationships and as outrageous as grave robbing. Collections by Chris Ware, Tony Millionaire and Art Spiegelman are filled with unspeakably beautiful art and heartrending stories that will equal — or exceed — some of the best movies you've ever seen. Compiled volumes of Charles Schulz's early "Peanuts" comics, the pinup art of Jack Cole, the pop art of Jim Flora “ it's all here.

And yes, Virginia, they've got the raunchy stuff. A tiny 18-and-over room in the back of the shop contains all of Eros Comix's collected, er, joie de vivre — your "Bondage Fairies," your "Diary of a Dominatrix" and so on. It's all part and parcel of the Fantagraphics experience — a store that is, like its publisher parent, virtually bursting at its seams with visions and ideas.
