All right, all right. We all know how comics-friendly Portland, Oregon is. You’ve got your Dark Horse and your Stumptown, your Floating World, your Craig Thompson and your Brian Michael Bendis.
But what of the other Portland? You know, the one on the other coast? Well, Kevin Eastman live there once (thanks, Wikipedia). Oh, and Stephen King is from there — remember those Marvel Dark Tower books? Those count, right?
Coast City Comics, Portland?s own self-described “friendliest and most eclectic stop for all your comic needs,” wants to help us put the city on the comics map. “Action Chad,” an employee at the shop has agreed to make the store a rendezvous point for our fourth meetup.
According to Chad, “we’ll probably run a sale to coincide with this event. There has already been talk of taping it too.” I mean, just look at how happy that dude in the picture is to be there. You can’t fake that kind of enthusiasm, friends.
For more information on the event, keep checking back over at the official Coast City Comics site.
