Happy Spring Comic Shop Friends! A few little things before we get into the comics: We will be closed next Sunday the 31st for Easter. Enjoy your egg hunts! The next Late Nite Comics will be Thursday, April 18th! And we’re six weeks out from Free Comic Book Day! Saturday, May 4th! The day before my birthday! And you get the gifts! Free comics! More announcements are coming soon! As always, we’re working on getting more back issues out, and new boxes are labeled with the date, so come check those out. John also just did a big manga restock, and I alphabetized all of those so it’s super easy to find what you’re looking for! The cat manga is under “C” and is marked, and Junji Ito is under “J” and marked as well! The big news is – It’s Goon Week! I updated my Rec row with all Eric Powell to mark the occasion of the return of The Goon for the 25th anniversary. That means my Goon tattoo is fifteen years old now, and it’s probably time...

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...
