Lucky's Comics in Vancouver
:: Posted by Bryan @ 10/19/2006 04:02:00 AM Sequential tries to cover comix culture and commerce from coast to coast but too often turns out to be a "central" Canada type of thing. In order to redress this sad fact, we present Part 1 of our multi-part series, "Better Know a Comic Shop." If you'd like to see your shop, club, convention or event profiled here, please don't hesitate to email us with the vital information, links, and photos. Sequential is always happy to oblige.
First up, a preview of Lucky's Comics in Vancouver, BC.
Luckily, this bastion of alt-comics culture and fine art has a handy blog that is frequently updated with the newest arrivals which include much more than the usual Diamond catalog suspects (most recently, a whole slew of vinyl records, D&Q stuff and a restock of a McSweeney's collection). Reading the blog, I almost feel like I know Mr Lucky already, and I'm sure you will too.
As well, the store, located at 3972 Main St, has an art gallery and sells books thru its site and on ebay.
The website lists the top 11 (?) selling graphic novels of the past few months:
1) Big Questions #8, by Anders Nilsen
2) Me Write Book: Bigfoot Memoir, by Graham Roumieu
3) Tiempos Finales (End Times) by Sam Hiti
4) Big Questions #7 by Anders Nilsen
5) The Stacks, by Marc Bell
6) In Me Own Words: The Autobiography of Bigfoot, by Graham Roumieu
7) The Frank Book, by Jim Woodring
8) McSweeneys 13, the Comic Issue, edited by Chris Ware
9) Palestine, by Joe Sacco
10) Ghost World, by Daniel Clowes
11) Worn Tuff Elbow, by Marc Bell
Finally, you can take a virtual video tour of the store online.Labels: comics retailers, comicshoptalk, links, shop profiles
