Jason Leivian, owner of Floating World Comics
During a recent visit to Portland, Oregon, I interviewed Jason Leivian, who runs Floating World Comics, one of the best comic book shops you could hope for. This is a comic book shop taken up to the level of a curatorial experience with everything neatly organized in different categories.
Floating World Comics holds the distinction of being one of few comic book shops that also functions as a publisher. During this interview, my goal was to bring out all that is special about Floating World Comics, and Jason Leivian proved to be a most excellent host. I hope you enjoy the video interview below:
I’ve come back with some choice titles published by FWC and we will be taking a look at them in the coming days.
When in Portland, or whenever you wish to find something exceptional in comics online, be sure to visit Floating World Comics.
I’ve never heard of that–a store being a publisher itself. Wow!
We used to visit a comic book store in Hollywood whose name I can’t remember now, but the one thing that irked me was there was also lots of merchandise and it was all SO pricey and basically unaffordable. But if the store had also supported artists by publishing them, I probably would have been less annoyed, lol !
Floating World Comics is quite unique in also being a comics publisher. I’ll have some reviews up of FWC titles soon.
