The cover to the newly reissued anthology Flight Magazine Volume #1 from Inklore Books, featuring a beautiful painting with a winged adventurer, blimp, biplane, fantasy cityβ€”you name it.

So many of the best trends in comics today can be traced back to the debut of Flight Magazine in 2004. Check out the reissue of that seminal anthology here inklorebooks.com/series.

They even reprinted my somewhat bizarre afterword (it was odd in 2004; it's even odder now)!

Yes! New spinner rack assembled for our used book section!

This summer all our previously read floppy comics are a buck!

Buried a few treasures in there for the spelunkers.

"Not Here" - Value was once measured not in coins, but the pelts of beaver...

The Hudson Bay Company, Canada's first business, focused on the acquisition of fur.

"Chinoiserie" in the sophisticated port of Canton, China, the hulls of ships were emptied of Alaskan sea otter furs and filled with tea, silk and porcelain...

Qing Dynasty coins, with holes in their centers were revered by Tlingits, embellishing regalia to shimmer when danced, and lining armor.

"Royal Replacements" On the headdresses of Tlingit chiefs and robes of European kings, the skin of ermine with black tipped tails trail royalty.

In exchange, glass beads and wool came into the territory... Replacing the quills of porcupines for embellishing garments and positions.

"The Temptation of Paris" A tuft of fur along a faint path of snowy paw prints guides the placement of a steel trap. Calloused hands pull back the springs. From aristocrats of the Middle Ages to Edwardians, the silk dresses of high society European ladies are draped in it.

We have an amazing exhibit up right now by Andrea Nelson of Haines that comments on the expansive colonialist brutality of Alaska's early fur trade.

We've been donated this "Alaskan Lobbyist" by Mary Ellen Frank at the Doll Museum.

She's moving out, so go see her collection while you can!

I went down to Juneau, Alaska this weekend for @alaskarobotics.com Mini-Con, and what an absolute joy of an event it was, even though I’m outrageously tired after it. It was one of the most enjoyable and relaxed comic events I’ve ever been to. I’ll be writing about it for @sktchd.bsky.social soon.

Visited the excellent Juneau comic shop and gallery @alaskarobotics.com today, which had one of the most well-curated inventories of comics I’ve come across. Great and knowledgeable staff that made sure I walked out with more books than I expected to.
