Oct 06 2024
Desert Island Comics, the Brooklyn, N.Y.–based comics shop specializing in alternative, independent, and underground comics, graphic novels, art books, screenprints, and zines, is reportedly being priced out of its storefront on Metropolitan Ave. in the rapidly gentrified neighborhood of Williamsburg, which it has occupied since 2008. It will lose its lease on December 30, per a letter dated September 26 and posted to the store’s Instagram account on October 3.
