A new building at 1-5 Berwick Street and 4-5 Peter Street, in Soho, London, opened in 2011. As the architectural website whowithwhat.com explains, "in an area renowned for prostitution and the sex trade," the owners, Newmark Property Investments, "wanted to realise the potential of the site, and provide a high-end development offering residential apartments on the upper floors and retail units at ground/basement to transform the overall character and appearance of the site." The architects were Squire and Partners, and the corner site is occupied by Gosh!, the comic shop, which moved from Great Russell Street, after 25 years near the British Museum, in August 2011.

This is why I love Isotope. The new downtown store has an elevated stage for live music, an Astronaut suit, AND a freaking Dr. Strange costume.
For the record, I picked up a couple of AiT-PlanetLar books; Giant Robot Warriors and Smoke & Guns since I was in their stomping grounds, and Bryan Talbot's new book Alice In Sunderland.

Standing outside the inside of the Comic Shop where the expression is as it is. Vacant and at a stare.
On the second day of the grand moving/reopening sale it's only a hint of time to catch into standing behind the mask. FIrst chance in the new location.
Throng of the maddening rush of the sale weekend of the Comic Shop in Liverpool Australia.
Nice thing about moving into a bigger location is that there is extra space for the people and crowds to move about. Makes browsing for collectables and merchandise that more pleasant don't you think?

Writer David Baillie and artist Meghan Hetrick in Forbidden Planet in Edinburgh, signing the first issue of their new series Red Thorn from DC Comics' acclaimed Vertigo imprint. David's gone from small press, self-published comics to writing for 2000 AD (still a great place for new writing and art talent to grow) and now with his own mini-series from DC. Great to see that happen. The story borrows from Scottish myth and folklore, although it is set in the present day, with much of the first issue taking place in Glasgow, with many recognisable city landmarks such as the Necropolis or the Barras.
This weekend, I went to NJ with my dad to visit my grandfather, who lives there, and to take some stuff out of the house my dad grew up in, because it is going to be sold pretty soon.
We stayed at a hotel in Teaneck, NJ. During this time, I had noticed a comic shop on Cedar (I think that was the road) that I wanted to visit, and we only got to checking it out on the last day of the trip.
My dad and I went in, we checked out the store, and ended up buying the graphic novel adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which I had been interested in reading.
After we left, I said to my dad, "Oh man, you know, that guy who worked there seemed like the type of guy who would totally be cool with me taking his picture for the 100 Strangers project."
My father promptly said, "Well then, let's go back in!" and turned around and started walking. I turned too, but I was hesitant. I didn't want to, because I felt nervous, shy... But then I thought about it some more, and I went back to thinking about how the man in question was a really laid-back kind of person, from the looks of it, and how he'd probably say that I could take his picture.
After my dad convinced me--and after I convinced myself as well, because I'd regret it if I passed up such a great opportunity for one of my Strangers--we went back into the shop, and I approached the man to ask him for a brief photo session.
He was a funny guy, who, before agreeing said, "Well if I introduce myself, will I not be eligible anymore? Because we won't be strangers then."
I took a number of photos, and Tony said, of somebody who was also in the store (a regular I'm assuming, who Tony knew), "He's a stranger, you could take a picture of him, too, probably."
I then asked for his name, which was Tony (if you haven't gathered yet), and thanked him for being so willing to let me take some shots.
I felt a lot more accomplished after all of that, and I was glad my dad said for me to go back in there to ask, because I probably would not have done it if he hadn't said, "Well go back and do it then!"
This is photo #2 in my 100 Strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers group page or at 100strangers.com.
