Artists Wanted and November Events at CNJComics

Since 2013 we’ve hosted a Holiday Art Show to benefit the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, where local artists create custom comic book covers that are won in a basket raffle system where one dollar gets you one ticket towards the cover of your choice. We’re excited to announce that this year’s theme is “Marvel Vs DC”! Here’s how you participate! Stop by the shop and pick up a blank comic cover from us. They are free of charge and you can do two if you like. Please complete the cover with any medium you choose. (This includes digital!

When you stop by to pick up a cover, please connect with an employee so...

Andrea’s Peeper Picks for 11.29.23

Hello Comic Shop Friends! We’re gearing up for the holidays here, and prepping for our annual Holiday Art Show!

Art is due back by 5pm on Sunday, December 10th, and we will display the covers starting Wednesday the 13th through our Holiday Party on Saturday the 16th.

Once again, all proceeds from the raffle will benefit the Cleveland Food Bank, so the more covers we have, the more we can donate! Last year we were able to donate enough for them to create 24,900 meals! The Cleveland Food Bank has the ability to turn $1 into four meals, so every raffle ticket helps them greatly! In addition to the Art Show during our Holiday Party, on Saturday the 16th...
