First off, we’ve like to thank everyone who made Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Local Comic Shop Day a success this past weekend. Scene even sent out a photographer to cover the Black Friday Event. Check that out here!  (There’s a lot a familiar faces in there.) CHRISTMAS ART SHOW We’re also happy to announce that we’ll be doing our annual Christmas Art Show at our Christmas Customer Appreciation Party again this year. All proceeds from this show will go to the Cleveland Food Bank. Last year, with assistance from Pop The Comic Culture Club, we raised enough money to help the Food Bank create over 11,000 meals for those in need during the holidays. We also collected over a thousand food items. You can be a part of this!

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.

This week’s email was a little late, as we’ve been getting ready for our Black Friday Sale, to be followed the next day by the first annual Local Comic Shop Day!
