Now seems like a good time to have a Los Angeles thread on the Bubbles board, what with Permanent Damage 3 coming this Sunday and all. Some highlights so far for that show include all of these new things dropping:
- Katie Skelly's new issue of Heaven. - Jasper Jubenvill's new Diva comic. - Nate Garcia's Gecko comic. - Josh Pettinger and Simon Hanselmann's The Werewolf Jones & Sons Summer Fun Annual. - Plus way more artists and readings and bands.
Truly an embarrassment of riches. Was at the last one and had a blast. Can't wait till Sunday.
As for general LA stuff, I've been here just a few years now and live near Secret Headquarters and Skylight Books Annex so haven't had to venture too far to get to the good stuff. I will also say Other Books is a great shop that carries a ton of new/used graphic novels, comics and zines and is worth checking out. If anyone has any other recommendations for good spots please let me know.

Buy me one of each of those? Haha. I'll pay you for your troubles.
LA is a great comics town. Love SHQ and Skylight. And all the amazing movies always being shown all over town.

Sundays going to be a blast, can't wait.
Every time I've tried to go to Other Books they've been closed, even though their site says theyre open. I really wanna check it out though.

Hahahaha, yeah DM/email me your order. I’ll totally do it. Josh the first time I went to Other Books the same thing happened to me, said it was open on the site but was closed. I typically call before I go now just to make sure. It’s worth it though lots of great deals and stuff that is OOP that I have found for cover price there.

I just went to Skylight for the first time this past weekend. I found out about it because of the back of Bubbles issue #3. Some good stuff there! I picked up:

Permanent Damage has been great every time, well worth working into a trip. I'll be there for it.
Definitely hit the shops mentioned above.
- Skylight Annex which is a couple stores down from Skylight Books proper.
- Other Books is great lots of stuff that is rare in there and if you are looking for the expensive stuff they have a glass case with expensive rare stuff like all the Powr Mastrs volumes, most of the OOP Yokoyama Yuichi books, I think I saw a Michael DeForge Lose #1 in there too. Call ahead! I went again during regular business hours since I was in the neighborhood and they were closed but well worth the effort IMO.
- Secret Headquarters will fingers crossed have a space by then, if not you can always go down to the Last Bookstore in downtown and see there shop within a shop there, it's not as diverse as the stand alone shop. People love the Last Bookstore although I don't think I have ever picked something up there.
- Heavy Manners Library is a relatively new spot that you can become a member and check out zines at, but they also sell some zines, books and records there. They also host comic readings there all the time so check there website.
Enjoy your trip!
