400 NW Couch St., 503-241-0227, floatingworldcomics.com.
A visually stimulating collection of foreign art mags, books on graphic design and animation, loads of comic books, and zines of all ilks, Floating World is much more than just superheroes. It's an idea lab; a hub of inspiration rounded out with the presence of a Landfill Rescue Unit—a record section specializing in rare punk, metal, psych, funk and soul vinyl.
