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...

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...
