The Madrid shop, Arika Comics, has won the Oscar equivalent for the comic, the Eisner Prizer, and will be given the award for best shop at the International Comics Convention in San Diego on September 15.
It’s the first time that a Spanish shop has won the award.
The shop is 360mm2 over two floors, and the prize jury said this was more than a large space but had been used to develop new visitors interest in comics.
It’s been in operation for 19 years.
