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...

It’s December Comic Shop Friends! That means it’s time for our yearly reminder that we would love it if you could come in and clear out your files before the end of the year. We will gladly print out your pull list if you need to make any changes to your file. We’ve had a lot of new files opened this year with the DC Absolute titles taking off, so file space is at a premium for us! We joke about having “SPO shoulder” from the five or six boxes on the side counter every week, and the cubby cubes are packed, so please make a good faith effort to pick up what is in your file this month! We love to sell you comics, but we’d really love you to take them home and read them! That said, anytime you need more time to pick up your comics, just let us know. We will happily hold them longer, as long as we know you’ll be back in to get them. Things happen, we understand, but we just need communication...

Happy Thanksgiving Comic Shop Friends! We have a packed week, so let’s dive in! We will be closed on Thursday the 27th for Thanksgiving. I hope you all get to enjoy a day off work and a day of feasting and relaxation! Our Black Friday Weekend Sale starts Wednesday! You get four days of dollar diving and back issue deals! Starting Wednesday the 26th and going through Sunday the 30th! We’ll have 50% off all back issues, including the wall! The foyer is open and there are one hundred brand new long boxes of dollar stock! You may find some great stuff in there that we don’t have room for in the back issues! Saturday, the 29th, Nate Powell will be in the shop for a free signing! Nate Powell is a National Book Award-winning cartoonist who began self-publishing comics as an Arkansas teenager in 1992. His work includes the new graphic novel Fall Through and a comics adaptation of James Loewen’s Lies My Teacher Told Me, as well as Save It For Later, civil rights icon John Lewis’ March...
