Where service and Zoot Suits reign supreme... 4/27/2006

When I lived in Germany, I used a great comic service out of Berlin called Black Dog Comics. I sent Dirk, the owner, a list of the books I read and the indie writers I followed, and every three or four weeks, I would get a package in my mailbox with about a dozen comics. Not only did he get the few mainstream things I read, but he was able to get all of the indie books (and some of the back issues I missed). Black Dog was great because I didn't have the time to manage all of my subscriptions... and he never missed a book, ever. When I moved back to the city, I thought I would be able to visit my old standby, Comix Experience, every week or two, but the fates conspired to keep that from happening - which makes their subscription system impossible to manage as it requires regular visits to get the monthly order form and to send it in. But when I visited James at Isotope, I was pleasantly surprised to get the sort of service that I had become accustomed to in Germany. Over the next few weeks, I funneled all of my regular books over to him, and since then, regardless of if I showed up once a week or once every two months, every book was waiting for me - including special orders, graphic novels and everything in between. On many occasions, I've picked up a number 3 of a series and asked if he could find the first two issues I missed, and like clockwork, the next time I came in, the back issues were waiting for me. Not only is James a great shop owner and a Mac user, but personally turned me on to Jade (the multi-level bar up the street) and hooked me up with a shifter card for drinks at Sauce. James runs a comic shop that hardcore comic geeks and the occasional funny book reader can feel comfortable going to. more

I've been in Isotope Comics once, and it seems like they have quite a selection for comic books for a store of their size, but I'm not too sure because I'm not the comic fan. They had old and new comics, and they're also into the card games....you can buy a lot of cards there. Not many people work their either. Parking's pretty hard to find, but not many people go to that store. more
