All The Local Comic Shop Day 2018 Exclusives We Can Find For This Saturday

A week ahead of Small Business Saturday, this Saturday sees Local Comic Shop Day 2018. The idea is that the season has become too dominated by big box boredom and impersonal online shopping. Local Comic Shop Day brings the focus back to the local comic book shop and how we serve as hubs for our local communities," said Peter Dolan, President of ComicsPRO. "With events like this and others, like children's art contests, artist signings, book clubs, cosplaying and more, the Local Comic shop is where true pop-culture fans gather."

Participating stores will be bricks'n'mortar stores only, and not large chains. And each comic shop will mark the Local Comic Shop Dayoccasion in its own unique way. "Local Comic Shops are not centrally owned by big corporations. One of the beautiful things about comic shops is that each retailer is out there putting a unique spin on comic book retailing" said Marco Davanzo, Executive Director of ComicsPRO. "Local Comic Shop Day highlights this rich diversity. It's an opportunity for local shops to deliver awesome stuff to fans while taking part in something larger to kick off the holiday season before all the big box craziness."

Comics publishers participate in Local Comic Shop Day by producing exclusive and limited items available only in participating comic shops. Here is what participating comic book stores will be offering… that we are aware of.
