As mentioned earlier, new Comics Comics issues should be available through Diamond starting in February, but a few prescient stores have gotten their hands on copies early. If you can’t wait for your fix, go visit them. They are all excellent boutiques, and very deserving of your money and patronage.

THE COMICS COMICS FIVE
(in alphabetical order)

1. Big Brain Comics, in Minneapolis

2. Domy, in Houston

3. Family, in Los Angeles (& don’t miss co-proprietor Sammy Harkham‘s terrific related blog)

4. Jim Hanley’s Universe, in Manhattan

5. Rocketship, in Brooklyn

P.S. It’s possible we’ve missed a few stores, so if you work at a location stocking Comics Comics or if you spot an issue somewhere, drop us a line, and we’ll keep a running honor roll. In the meantime, these are the five greatest stores in North America.

So Dan got back from wherever he goes at this time of the year and has informed me that I kind of jumped the gun when I re-posted the Comics Comics issue 2 information. Most stores apparently won’t be receiving their copies until February or a little later. (I saw a big stack of Number 2’s at Big Brain in Minneapolis, a really excellent comic shop, and, uh, overinterpreted.)

A few stores do have early issues, such as Big Brain and Brooklyn’s beloved Rocketship, but if you can’t get to one of those stores and/or can’t wait until next month, we’ve added a button to the sidebar here, and we can send you a copy.

Thanks a lot, and sorry for any confusion.
