Lambiek's Hidden Treasures

Storage facility transforms
into a Comic Museum

Dear Lambiek friends,

It's been awhile since our last issue, but moving Lambiek to our very small but cozy place at Kerkstraat 119 has kept us away from our computers. There is also a storage place where we are still busy unpacking 900 boxes of comics. We are definitely not going back to the old place, so we are looking for a bigger location, where we can display all our stuff again and organize new exhibitions.

But now it's time to take a break and inform you of all the goodies that came from those boxes…Below is just a handful of things we bumped into:

- Tarzan Golden book - 1200 copies, original newspaper format, signed and numbered by artist Burne Hogarth
- Carl Barks calenders - signed
- Artsy Fatsy Funnies - (yes folks, the never authorized edition!) by Patrick Rozenkranz & Hugo van Baren
- Complete Crumb vol 2 & 3 - HC, Signed & Numbered
- Charles Burns - Big Baby - Kitchen Sink Press edition - HC, Signed, numbered + little drawing
- Loads of American underground comix from the sixties and seventies

Portfolios (all signed & numbered):
