Hello Comic Shop Friends! I hope you all had a great Halloween! We still have free comics and candy left over from our Trick or Read event, so you can still stop in and pick up some books! Now that we’re into November, mark your calendars for these upcoming events: On Friday, November 11th, at 6 pm at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Ben will be speaking as part of the Art of Collecting lecture!  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. The next Late Nite Comics will be Thursday, November 17th, from 8 pm to midnight, and we’ll be putting out all indie dollar stock!  We’re also getting ready for Black Friday and planning the theme...

Hey everyone, John D here! Andrea’s been doing a great job of keeping us updated on all the new releases, but I’m here to give you a rundown of what we’ve got going for the month of October, including Halloween! First up, we’ll be hosting another Late-Nite Comics event on Thursday, October 20th, from 8 pm to Midnight! (Always on the third Thursday of the month!) As anyone who went to the last one knows, we are now pulling $1.00 unprocessed overstock out of our back room, with some really great stuff in there that we just haven’t gotten around to processing. Crazy good stuff, and we shoot for forty long boxes at every event. Since it’s Halloween season, we thought we’d invite a special guest out to the event. We bumped into Cory Holliday at the Cleveland Haunt Club’s event, and he had some really great artwork paying homage to Classic Comic Book Covers and Horror characters. Cory will be setting up inside the shop and selling prints from 6 pm to midnight on the 20th. (So he’ll be...
