Holiday Party / Art Show / Fundraiser / Sale at CNJComics

Here’s all the info on this year’s Holiday Party / Sale / and Fundraiser for the Greater Cleveland Food Bank! Yes! Our in-person Holiday Party is back! First up, let’s talk about our annual Art Show! For years we’ve been hosting an art show where local artists of all backgrounds create custom comic book covers that we display in the foyer attached to the shop. This year’s theme is “Spider-Verse,” and the show will run from Wednesday, December 14th, to Saturday, December 17th. Covers are won through a basket raffle system where one dollar gets you one ticket toward the cover of your choice. (You can also get a six-pack of tickets for five dollars.) All the money collected goes to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank , who has the incredible power to turn one dollar into four full meals for those in need! With your support over the years, we have helped them create well over 100,000 meals! Some covers have already come in, and they are pretty awesome…. Art by Ron Hill Art by Len Peralta Art by...
