Yesterday, within the wonderful sunshine, I cycled from Putney to Camden for the opening of Forbidden Planet Camden, from the bones of the shop Meag-Metropolis Comics. On Inverness Market, subsequent door to one of the well-known pubs in London, The Good Mixer, the shop opened its doorways with a signing from Al Ewing and Ram V, with Absolute Inexperienced Lantern, New Gods, Immortal Thor, Resurrection Man and All-New Venom getting the lion’s share of signatures. This was adopted by Dave Gibbons, who had his personal separate line, although it shaped first.

So what adjustments? Effectively, there are extra new comics, and fewer merchandise than the earlier retailer, which could have been a shock for these anticipating one thing completely different from Forbidden Planet. The again subject longboxes  have gone, which may be the value of being a central London comedian e-book retailer the place each inch has to earn its maintain. Forbidden Planet doesn’t take pleasure in the identical advantages that the earlier retailer proprietor’s forty-year lease did.

There was a very good crowd out for the opening. It was a stunning day, and people got here out for it. There was numerous love for the shop, for the creators, and for a comic book e-book future for Camden. Plenty of merchandise shops have popped up regionally, however Forbidden Planet Camden appears to be way more about comics.

Dave Gibbons particularly loved being confronted by a few of his very earliest work from the mid-seventies, together with Nasty Tales and Buster—not Ro-Buster, which might come later. It made for a very good excuse for Forbidden Planet Camden to roll out the DC Compact Comics variations of Watchmen, whereas many people introduced their unique copies.

I additionally must get all the way down to the newly opened Piranha Comics in Kingston-Upon-Thames. Illness has prevented me, however it seems like a stunning week to do one thing like that!
