Carol and John go to San Diego Comicon!

Hey everyone! In case you haven’t heard our humble shop here in Cleveland, Ohio has been nominated for the Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer award! This means we’re packing up out things and heading out to Comicon for the awards ceremony and to enjoy the madness we hear is San Diego! After being nominated we had to create the video seen below to show our store’s overall image and identity and also do a little explaining about why we do what we do. We also had to create a binder documenting our over 20 years in business showing our community service, events, dedication to promoting diverse materials and knowledge in our chosen field. The binder tops out at 48 pages and was as concise as we could make it. Being nominated is an honor. Knowing some of the other stores who have been nominated and standing along side them is an honor. Being able to represent our city is an honor. Lastly, I would like to commend the entire staff of our shop and everyone involved in shaping our entry. Hard work, but the submission process itself has given us an insight into ourselves, our place in the community, and our place in the world of comics. Thanks to all our customers for helping us get to this place. The awards ceremony is Friday, July 22nd at 8:30 Pacific time. Keep us in your thoughts at this time. And hey, I hope we win.
