Hi Comic Shop Friends. You probably saw our Facebook post, but sadly Winston passed away this past Friday. From John’s post: “He died in the comic book shop that was his home. He was not alone when he died. He’d been having a rough week and decompensated rapidly on his final day. He will be cremated and we will be keeping his ashes in the shop. Winston was a fire rescue cat from the East Side of Cleveland, around East 100th and Miles Avenue, near Calvary Cemetery. He was, without any doubt, one of the best shop cats in Cleveland. We believe his age to be around 16 years old, but we can’t say for sure. We do know that he led a really good life. Rest easy little buddy.” Also from John: “I’m going to go ahead and say I love our ragtag community so much. The outpouring of condolences over Winston’s passing is overwhelming, and this piece of customer art sincerely made me take a moment and collect myself. Thank you Hope. Strong work. Perfect.” Thank you to...

Hi Comic Shop Friends! We’re back from ComicsPro, full of news, ideas, and swag! First, thank you to Raf and John Shearer for keeping things running at the shop while the rest of us were in Pittsburgh! We represented the Short Box King at the charity auction! Second, I want to tell you about what I’m most excited about that was announced. You probably saw most of these online already, but if you didn’t: EC Comics is coming back at Oni! Very excited for another horror anthology, which they’re calling Epitaphs from the Abyss, and they are also doing a sci-fi one called Cruel Universe.
