Star Wars Christmas Party and Art Show

It’s time to release the information on this year’s Customers Appreciation Christmas Party and Charity Art Show. Our Christmas Party is our way of giving back to you, the people who have kept us in business for another year. The party is on Saturday December 19th from 8pm to 11pm and will have a Star Wars theme throughout this year. We have also turned this into a way to raise funds for the Cleveland Food Bank by hosting an art show with local artists doing custom Star Wars comic book covers. This show is done in conjunction with Pop the Comic Culture Club, and we really pull out all the stops to say thank you to everyone. THE ART SHOW: All day on the 19th we’ll have the custom Star Wars comic book covers displayed. These covers can be won through a basket raffle system where you can get tickets by donating food items or money. One food item, one ticket. One dollar, one ticket.

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION PARTY First off, we’re here to remind you about our Christmas Party and art show on Saturday December 19th. The art show will last through the day and end with a party from 8pm to 11pm. The theme this year is Star Wars, and all the art will be winnable through a basket raffle system with all funds going to the Cleveland Food Bank. From now until Christmas, all funds from the $1.00 bins will go completely to the Cleveland Food Bank. You can come into the store and shop and know that with each book you buy you’re creating four full meals for people in need during the holiday season. We have also been told by Jim over at Comic Heaven that he will match this offer, so be sure to stop by his shop during the holiday season as well. At our shop, you can also start bringing food items in, and you can trade one item for a book out of the dollar bins! Thanks to Pop The Comic Culture Club for the donations to...

Black Friday and Local Comic Shop Day Updates

Black Friday and Local Comic Shop Day Updates

We’ve got a lot to cover this week so we’ve only got one featured book, Dark Knight III The Master Race #1! This eight issue mini series is written by Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello, with art by Andy Kubert. There’s even a mini insert Atom comic written by Miller and Azzarello with art by Miller and Klaus Janson. There’s a great deal of controversy around who wrote what, mostly because Miller is as crazy as Alan Moore. One thing is for certain though, we’ll all be tuned in to see what happens one way or another. We’re even going to let the 1:10 Jill Thompson Variants go for cover price.
