Hey everyone! John here with a quick recap of this weekend! All weekend long will be our Black Friday Sale! These are the hours we will be open: Friday: 12-8pm Saturday: 10-7pm Sunday: 12-5pm We no longer have the late-night event on Fridays due to supply issues getting the graphic novels we would usually use as raffle prizes. We do, however, have a surprise for everyone! So, as a special bonus for shopping with us this weekend, we took four of our most popular 11×17 lithographs and reprinted them without any text. All four have elements of Cleveland hidden in them. See Spider-Man getting his alien symbiote from Secret Wars #8 in the Flats! Watch Wolverine cut his way through the Hellfire Club in X-Men #133 on East 4th Street! Observe Scott and Jean’s final showdown from X-Men #137 in Public Square! Witness Phoenix rises from the flames in X-Men #101 above Lake Erie! These four prints are FREE with any purchase all weekend long! (We will also be giving them away at Genghis Con as well.) This is our...

Hi Comic Shop Friends! I’m out sick, so since I haven’t gotten to read any new comics for this week, I’ll be using the company’s copy for these books. But first, some shop news! Ben will be speaking as part of the panel at the Cleveland Museum of Art’s The Art of Collecting on Friday, November 11th, at 6 pm. “Why do people collect? And what personal value do collections hold? Join CMA Chief Curator Heather Lemonedes Brown (curator of Impressionism to Modernism: The Keithley Collection), comic book collector Benjamin Joines-Mundy (Carol & John’s Comic Book Shop), sneaker collector and authenticator Sadelle Moore (StockX), and music critic and record collector Annie Zaleski (Duran Duran’s Rio) for a conversation about the passion that drives collecting.” You can reserve free tickets here.
