Shopping: Graphic Novel Nirvana

Today I had my first Lungo. Thrilling isn't it? No, this is not the breathing organs of an italian herd animal. It is a coffee, and you can read about it on wikipedia here.

Afterward I decided to wander around a bit ( a few km) and wouldn't you know it on the day when I left most of my cash (and credit cards) at home I came across a huge window display of graphic novels and manga.

The place is Filigranes on Ave des Arts. You can see their site here at: http://www.filigranes.be/fr/.

I have always been a fan of comics (books, strips, novels), and this place had an impressive selection. A very helpful employee who worked in the section informed me that in the city centre there are a few other places with even more.

So, that means this weekend I will amble my way over there to see what I can find. I snapped a few pics of about half the selection, for your amusement.

Click for larger pics, to see French versions of some you might already know.
