the dream of comics is alive in portland

I just got back from Portland, Oregon where I spent the last five days looking at comic books. In my travels to Floating World Comics, Future Dreams Books, and Stumptown Comics Fest, I've acquired a TON of stuff, which is awesome, because my collection of comic books is minimal at best. So here is a look at what I brought back with me.

First Column: Camelot 3000; The Saga of Crystar, Crystal Warrior; A Distant Soil by Colleen Doran; William Shatner's Tek World; Spider-Man Fever by Brendan McCarthy, and Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld. Second Column: Trigger #1 by Mike Bertino; a few books from Raw Fun Press, Other Side of Town #1 and #2 and Rapt in Fear by Alex Delaney; and Nazi Knife 5. Third Column: Layered Jacket #2 by Corey Lewis; Pillow Fight by Brandon Graham; Video Tonfa; and next to that is The Scout by Malachi Ward. Fourth Column: Snake Bomb Comix #1 from Jack Hayden; Labanotation: The Center of Weight by Sean Christensen and Amy Kuttab; Play Overlord by Sean Christensen, Amy Kuttab, and Theo Ellsworth; The Virtuous: The Rise of the Matriarchy by Fiona Smyth. Fifth Column: Dan Quayl; Tom Neely's Henry & Glenn Forever; and The Yankee by Jason Leivian and William McEwan. Sixth Column: I Heart The Golden Girls by Jacqueline Kari Bos; Junqueland #1 from Studio JFish; and a greeting card of a sexy space girl called The Mother Ship by Olivia de Berardinis.
