Here’s all the info on this year’s Holiday Party / Art Show / Sale / and Fund Raiser for the Greater Cleveland Food Bank! This year’s art show theme is “Superheroes in Cleveland!” We’ve been hosting our Holiday Art Show since 2012, and we consider it to be one of the most important things we do every year, a great way to unite the community that has built up around the shop for the greater good. Since its inception, we’ve assisted the Greater Cleveland Food Bank in creating over 185,000 meals for those in need during the holidays and beyond. (That’s a real number, too.) The Food Bank has the amazing ability to turn one dollar into three full meals, so every dollar you put into the system in the art show has a very direct result you can measure. Our art show is where local artists create custom comic book covers that we display in the foyer attached to our shop from Wednesday, December 17th to Saturday, December 20th. These covers can be won in a basket raffle system,...

Since 2013 we’ve hosted a Holiday Art Show to benefit the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, where local artists create custom comic book covers that are won in a basket raffle system where one dollar gets you one ticket to the cover of your choice. We’re excited to announce that this year’s theme is “Super Heroes in Cleveland!” Here’s how you participate! Please stop by the shop and pick up a blank comic cover from us. They are free of charge, and you can do two if you like. Please complete the cover with any medium you choose. (This includes digital. Many people now print their art out on cardstock and glue it to the book’s cover.) Give us your interpretation of the theme, any representation of superheroes (and heroines of course) in Cleveland. This can have a holiday component, or not, that’s all up to you as the artist. The artwork must be turned in by Sunday, December 14th at 5pm. Please keep artwork to the front of the cover only, we only have the ability to display them this...

Hello Comic Shop Friends! Here are the details for what’s happening in the shop in December, and some new comics you should pick up to read as you stay warm and cozy at home! Submissions are coming in! I’m working on two of my three ideas and hopefully can get them done this weekend, since covers are due back by 5pm on Sunday the 14th! There’s still time to do one, so stop in and pick up a blank cover. This year’s theme is “Superheroes in Cleveland” and you can interpret that however you like. We will have the art displayed starting Wednesday the 17th through Saturday the 20th, when we’ll pick the basket raffle winners! Every single dollar raised goes directly to the Cleveland Food Bank! Tickets are $1 for one, or six for $5! We do a basket raffle system, so each cover will have a number, and a corresponding bag with that number. Just put your tickets into the numbers you’d like to try to win! The Cleveland Food Bank has the ability to turn one dollar...
