Getting your comics fix around Powell River

No mapped comic shops doesn't mean no comics. The usual stand-ins: the library's graphic novel section (free, and better stocked than you'd think), bookstore manga and trades shelves, and the nearest city's comic shops — worth a monthly trip with a pull list in mind.

Powell River sits about 50° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Winter is peak comics season: dark evenings, the big event storylines running, and the Wednesday ritual at its cosiest.

And mark the first Saturday in May: Free Comic Book Day is the best excuse to visit a new shop, wherever it is.

Comic smarts for Powell River

No mapped comic shops yet, but the comics habits work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Keep them out of the sun. UV fades covers fast. A sunny shelf is a slow-motion disaster for a collection.
• Bag and board your finds. Acid-free bags and backing boards cost pennies and save collections. Shops sell them; buy them there.
• Start a pull list. The shop sets aside your series each week. You never miss an issue, and the shop gets a reliable customer. Everyone wins.
• Respect the reading copies. The shop's reading copies are for browsing, not bending. Treat them like library books.
