Founded in 1968 by Kees Kousemaker, it was for a long time a popular landmark on the Kerkstraat, near the Leidseplein. In 2015, Lambiek had to leave the Kerkstraat and settle at Koningsstraat 27, near the Nieuwmarkt.</p> <p>Lambiek has a global reputation for its impressive collection of comics and art from around the world, with many genres and from many different eras. It is聽famous for being a hotspot for comic artists, collectors and fans. Festive openings of artist expositions in the gallery have become legendary, and we host many special events such as book presentations, workshops and the annual 24 Hour Comics Day.</p> <p>Make your trip to Amsterdam an even more special one and come by to say "hello" and browse through our unique collection where you can find books and artwork by many renowned comic artists. Of course you can also visit our webshop. We ship all over the world.</p> <p>Lambiek.Net, online since 1994, brings you the Comiclopedia - the comics compendium featuring more than 14,000 comic artists from around the world. We are always looking for some worthy new artists, and we welcome your comments and updates.</p> <p>Read more about the history of Lambiek and its founder Kees Kousemaker in <a href="/comics/story_of_lambiek.htm">The Story of Lambiek</a>.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div>  </div> <script> jQuery(window).load(function(){ //jQuery(window).load() must be used instead of jQuery(document).ready() because of Webkit compatibility $('#slider').bxSlider({ mode: 'fade', speed: 1500, auto: true, autoControls: false, autoHover: true, pager: false, controls: false , autoDelay: 3000, // integer - in ms, the amount of time before starting the auto show pause: 3000 // integer - in ms, the duration between each slide transition }); }); </script> </div>  </div> <footer id="colophon" > <div id="footer_contain"> <div class="branding"> <span class="ir l"> </span> <span class="ir c"> </span> </div> <div class="footertop"><a href="#" rel="nofollow" onClick="self.scrollTo(0,0); return false">top</a></div> <ul class="rightbottom"> <li> <a href="/info/help/search.html?id=225">about searching</a> </li> <li> <a rel="nofollow" href="/info/legal/general_conditions.html">general conditions</a> </li> <li> <a rel="nofollow" href="/info/legal/privacy_statement.html">privacy statement</a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="footerbottom"></div> </footer>  </div>  <div id="webshopsearch"></div> <div id="comiclopediasearch"></div> <script src="/js/highslide/highslide-full.packed.js"></script> <script src="/js/jquery-ui/jquery-ui-1.8.11.custom.min.js "></script> <script src="/js/jquery-ui/jquery.pnotify.min.js"></script> <script src="/share/lambiek_functions16.js" ></script> <script src="/js/digiz.js " charset="utf-16le"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $("img.lazy").lazyload({ effect : "fadeIn" }); barpos = $('.shopintro').offset(); //console.log('barpos='+barpos.top); $(window).scroll(function() { if (barpos) if ($(this).scrollTop() > barpos.top){ $('body').addClass("sticky"); // move search to the fixedbar if ( !$(".search#fixedsearch").length ) { console.log('geen fixedsearch') $('<li id="fixedsearch" class="search search-webshop right"></li>').appendTo('.navtablist'); } $('#searchinput').appendTo('#fixedsearch'); } else{ $('body').removeClass("sticky"); // move it back $('#searchinput').appendTo('#access .search-webshop> .row'); // console.log('weer naar boven') } }); $('img.lazy').lazyload({ effect : "fadeIn" }); }); </script> <script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "WebSite", "name" : "Lambiek.net", "alternateName" : "Comic books and Comics Compendium", "url" : "https://www.lambiek.net" } </script> <script src="/js/jquery.lazyload.min.js"></script> <script src="/js/bxslider/jquery.bxSlider.min.js"></script> <script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=409382332409180"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script> </body> </html>
