FCBD 2016: Bay Area Comic Shops List updated

Just in time for Free Comic Book Day I’ve updated my long outdated list of Bay Area comic book stores. The link is here and up in the menu under the directory tab. There have been two stores added since the last update. Yay! One store removed due to closure. Boo! And two address changes.

Please note, the information is pulled mostly from store Facebook pages and websites. Any errors are due to store owners not updating their websites. I also use “Bay Area” loosely because the list only encompasses (in most cases) the 15-miles around my place of residence. There are fabulous shops outside of that radius and I encourage you to explore. If you’re a shop owner and feel like you should be on this list please do feel free to contact me. My email address is theshareduniverse@gmail.com

Before Oakland, there was Madison, Wisconsin. In Madison, the hours that weren’t filled up by my day job were typically devoured by event planning and running the city’s popular arts and politics news site, Dane101. Some of the events I organized include an annual two-night cabaret/carnival/masquerade party called the Fire Ball Masquerade, Madison's biggest non-city sponsored Halloween party, the geek culture focused MadPubQuiz of Awesomeness, and the first Whedonesque Burlesque in the country. Having successfully reshaped the reality of Madison, Wisconsin I packed up and moved to the Bay Area in February of 2013. In addition to comics, I enjoy imbibing cocktails and beer, exploring foreign cities, consuming food of various temperatures, hearing music performed live, losing at board and card games, and getting caught in the rain.
