I actually found a really good store in Paris earlier this year that was well-stocked with both English (as in North American) and European books. It was called Media if I remember correctly and it was like two stores kiddy corner to one another and one was all comics and the other was other books and music and such. It was southwest of the Ile de la Cite. Picked up the first volume of Battle Pope (which I hadnt had much luck finding here in Ontario), the third volume of Scalped and another trade (Ive forgotten which one right now). Nice store.
I also found a couple of shops in Madrid; one was larger, but it was closed (it was Sunday morning) and the other was just this dingy little store that was pretty much all non-English language books and single issues. The guy there saw me he showed me his tiny selection of English single issues so I felt compelled to buy the first issue of Born by Garth Ennis (which was pretty good; dont know if I'll find the other issues now though...).
I typically bring paperback novels when I'm travelling, but I actually found that the trades worked pretty well because I could just lie them flat in my luggage (backpack or otherwise).
And yes, proscuitto and mozzarella sandwiches are unavoidable, particularly in Spain and Italy. It's kind of scary, really.
Great interview Josh! I love to see the Essex County books supported anywhere. Jeff was awesome when I met him earlier this year and even more so in San Diego. Can't wait to see his new stuff!
Awww, Batman hit the (half) pimple-faced kid... talk about prejudice!! Great strip!
