Floating World Comics

Celebrating our 20 year anniversary this summer with an exciting new location. Will feel like a homecoming in a way, while also continuing the “community mall” concept that was born at the Lloyd Center.

Having so much fun with our new Gachapon machines. Come on by and give em a spin.

‘Gacha’ is the sound when you turn the wheel. ‘Pon’ is the sound of your capsule toy dropping down.

Our growing collection of machines includes - Goods of Tadanori Yokoo, Junji Ito, Moomin Keychains, CD Boombox with record/playback, Animals with Oranges on Heads, and of course… Sad Astroboy

In my brief time as a gacha fan I’ve learned that, like comic books, new series of capsule toys are offered for preorder every month. New releases are made to order and when they’re gone - - - they’re gone!

1 day into CXC and I’m in love with this show. I think it was Tom Spurgeon’s vision for CXC to be the Angoulême of the US. Every cartoonist needs to make a pilgrimage to the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum and treat themselves to behind the scenes, high security, climate controlled tour with curator Caitlin McGurk. This is the largest collection of original comics art and archival newspaper comics pages in the world, including over 2 million pieces from the Bill Blackbeard library. The librarians and researchers here are ensuring that these collections will endure far past our lifetimes. The collection is accessible through the research library, which is open to the public and their scanning facilities help produce many of the deluxe reprint collections on your shelves. They also have an amazing Carol Tyler exhibit in the museum and an revelatory group show called Motion Lines, where I could see original pages by Kirby next to Gould and Watterson and Bagge and really compare and contrast the different styles on display.
