Comic book shop? Yeah, that too. They've got comics alright, all the current issues, recent back issues, back issues, graphic novel collections, ET CETERA. Don't forget the dollar box- sorry, folks, that's as low as it goes! Dragon's Den is, well, the Dragon's Den because nerds be playing Dungeons and Dragons- and Magic, and Yu-Gi-Oh, and whatever else you kids are into these days!

Ok Ok, back to the comics. Dragon's den is a nicely sized shop with a ton of cool stuff from comics to busts and figures. I spent a long time just gazing at the new releases before poking around at the graphic novels, where I grabbed the first volume of Sandman and The Walking Dead. Then, the dollar boxes, hurrah! Let's dig the haul:

They had a great buy one get one special on select graphic novels and comics. I found these comic book versions of classic literary stories like Rip Van Winkle, Fall of the House of Usher and The Jungle, all adapted by different authors and artists. Mike had a particularly cool find; an Avengers variant cover we assumed was in a sketch style- but when we took it out of the bag we realized it's an
actual sketch on the cover; you can see the smudging in parts of the face and the shininess of the permanent marker.

My other favorite finds are a Swamp Thing featuring Batman, the Amazing Spider-Man with President Obama and a very silly looking comic called The Governator drawn by a particularly kind artist!

| I've always wanted this comic! |

The staff are always super friendly too. I love this rad shop and I wish it was slightly closer, though really the drive down 9 isn't so bad, especially when I can hit Alto Music on the way back and spend
more money!
