Strips & Stories in Hamburg offers first-class entertainment and a large, cross-genre selection of comics and graphic novels.
Strips & Stories is a specialised trade for comics and graphic novels and resolutely opposes the prejudice that drawn books are children's stuff.
The shop is bright and inviting, the advice knowledgeable and friendly. Owners Hansjörg Ebert and Gesine Claus took the Canadian comic shop Drawn & Quarterly in Montreal as a model for their book corner for poking around and discovering, from classics such as " Tim and Struppi " to modern narrators and Hamburg based illustrators and authors. The whole variety of comics, in all its genres and styles, opens up in shelves and the large presentation table - those who leave the basement again may have a completely new look at the speech bubble genre and certainly a chic new acquisition under their arm.
