Never could understand the dual citzenship. Either you're an American or not.

Never could understand the dual citizenship. Either you're an American or not.

She's both. Regardless, we're keeping her.

Great pics! That section of Paris is great, and Paris_Fred's store is a short walk away, but you have to know where you're going.

GREAT PICS JAY!

And It was fun to see what you look like today.

You haven't aged a bit since we worked together years ago.

Thanks for sharing these.

 

Be well

I used to go there every week. It was the time i was still reading new comics...

 

 

Let me know next time you're in Paris, my office is not so far from the comics shop area... (thumbs u

For the next 5 days, I was stuck in a conference room. My wife went to Ghent, Brugges, Brussels and Lier. Monday, I did get out of work and to the local comic shop Mekanik at 6:15. That was the earliest I left work (except Friday, so I could catch a train to Amsterdam). They closed at 6:30.

 

So, I only had 15 minutes. Here is the outside.

 

Thanks for posting the report. I especially liked Spidey climbing the wall outside Mekanik.

 

My daughter actually just read a Tin Tin TPB, she thought it was weird, but she liked it.

 

The Pharaohs Cigars I think.

This is a wonderful thread. I love the Spider-man on the wall above the one store.

 

Too bad you missed Paris-Fred's store. He is a very interesting guy and a passionate OA collector. Would love to see his store.

Cigars Of The Pharoah. A little weird? Fair enough. Tintin was the first proper comic I ever read, and it more than anything got me hooked on four-color books. Hopefully my kids will enjoy the series as much as I did (well, one can hope).

We were at the Brussels museum a few years ago..it's minutes from the train stop, so we ran in on the way to Amsterdam...I think I missed most of what you showed in the pics, thanks for sharing!

[innocuous]

Thanks for all the comments everyone. I only got the pics as well as my wife went to the museum. I'll be going back later this year or early next, so, hopefully, I can make a stop at the museum.

 

Amsterdam was fun, but I didn't luck into any comic shops. My wife thought it was great when she found a button shop there. Seriously! And she thinks I'm crazy.
