Hey everyone! John D here hoping you’ve been enjoying Raf’s weekly picks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s an email about some important stuff coming up at the shop! Here we go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up, Winston World!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Winston World is returning to CNJComics on March 4th to the 6th!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Winston World? It’s really sort of an inside joke where we would piggy back on Wizard World’s social media when they first came to Cleveland, to draw people from the convention to our shop for a sale. Well, Wizard World is gone (to be replaced by Fan Expo at a later date.) but Winston World is still here! All weekend long you’ll get 50% off back issues, as well as 10% off everything else in the shop. (including supplies, which are ever so difficult to keep in stock right now.) Come on in and spend some money! Half off sales will not be as common as they were during the pandemic so be sure to make the most of the oppertunity! We’ll also have some brand new small press dollar bins out that have never been picked through before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, the George Perez JLA\/Avengers book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since the announcement of it’s release, we have been overwhelmed with requests for this very limited graphic novel. On December 7th, 2021, George Perez made a very heartfely public announcement to his fans that he was dying of stage 3 pancreatic cancer, and had from six months to a year left to live. George is responsible for so many of the comics I have loved throughout my life, much like many others I’m sure. His work for both Marvel and DC was equally important, and this led the Hero Initiative <https:\/\/www.heroinitiative.org\/> to secure the rights to reprint one of his most important works, the Avengers JLA mini series that came out in 2003 as a four part prestige mini series. (No small feat as you’re basically getting Disney and Time Warner to agree to something.) One caveat though was that this printing will be limited to 7,000 copies. Doing the short math this means about 2-3 copies per comic book shop, if that. George was a founding member of the Board of Directors for the Hero Initiative, an organization dedicated to helping comic creators who may need mergency medical aid, financial support for the essentials of life, as well as being an avenue to help them back into finding paying work. Stan Lee was a fan, and donated over $100,000 to the cause in his life time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
