At Play Full Ground micro high school in Monterey's Lighthouse District we wonder: what if a birthday breakfast could be a project-based learning experience?

One day, we turned a birthday breakfast into a project-based learning experience! How? Through menu planning (using organizational skills and creativity), cooking (using math and science), and building community as we share a meal. It’s a beautiful reminder that learning happens anywhere and can be fun.

Play Full Ground is a place for dreamers, makers, and everyday artists to play full out. Want to learn more about our school at 550 Lighthouse Avenue, Suite E, in Monterey? Visit our website.

Also...New Fun Comics #1

This coming Wednesday, September 24, Curent Comics will have New Fun Comics #1 on our shelves. It's an exact replica of the first DC comics ever put out in 1935 (before they were even named DC Comics).

This book is an anthology of different comic stories, each 1-2 pages long. With a variety of characters to explore that haven't been seen in almost 100 years, like Buckskin Jim the Trailblazer or Sandra of the Secret Service. And on every page there's the continuing story of Oswald the Rabbit, a character originally created in 1927 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks before the advent of Mickey Mouse. Stop by the shop and ask about it.

Current Comics has recently been buying collections of vintage comics and making them available for sale. We now have a bunch of good titles from DC and Marvel comics from the 1980s and a couple hundred DC Silver Age books from the 1960s-1970s, including military stories set in WWII including Our Fighting Forces, Our Army at War, and more titles.

Our selection is ever-changing as we slowly work through the collections we've acquired, price them, and make them available to you. All are at the store at 400 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey, and some are also available on our website.
