Introduction to the base bookstore

Basisbooks is a bookstore with the theme of Taiwanese original comics and books. It displays the richest and most complete collection of Taiwanese original comics and some graphic works! There are some seats nearby where you can have a cup of coffee.

In addition to comic books, some local magazines and illustrated items are also sold. The Gongwantang local life journal published by Citilens, and the BaconPress special magazine published from time to time. They are all very popular among young people in Taiwan in recent years.

The themes of many comics are related to current events, and the creators express them in another way besides pure text. The rich man feels that the types of comics have changed a lot, and many unexpected themes have been published in books. Just looking at the cover is quite interesting, and I am looking forward to the exciting content inside. I don’t know if these comics have beenTaipei Comics LibraryHave you collected it? There are also walking map comics themed around cities in Taiwan, which is a really good idea.

You can also see the representative works of the late comic book writer Zheng Wen, who is hailed by Japan as Asia's treasure: The Assassin's Chronicles, Abi Sword, and The Heroes of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. There is also the Ao Youxiang Wulongyuan series, Ren Zhenghua’s naughty family, which I often read when I was a kid. I really laughed out loud when I read it when I was a kid. I recommend it to friends who like funny comics.

A collection of hand-painted movie posters by early Taiwanese movie poster masters Chen Zifu and Yan Zhenfa. Master Yan Zhenfa still regularly produces movie posters for theaters across the United States. In the past, internationally renowned boutiques GUCCI and ColdPlay have also hired him to hand-paint posters. He is truly the light of Taiwan. Friends who come to Tainan must make a pilgrimage.

rich man experience

After shopping around, the rich man felt that the creative routes of Taiwanese comic writers are also quite diversified. Many unexpected themes have been introduced into Cheng Comics, which is quite different from the usual Japanese comic routes that I usually think of.

Most of the products displayed in the base bookstore are authentic Taiwanese products. The store also promotes many independently published comics and magazines. It is not easy to operate a bookstore. Even the Eslite Xinyi store will turn off the lights recently. Friends who like comics may wish to visit here. Go shopping, you should be able to discover your favorite works here.
