About this event
Local Comic Shop Day™ is a day to focus on all that local comic shops do to keep fans excited year ‘round. On LCSD, consumers will have the opportunity to get exclusive items that can only be (or first) found at their local comic shop.
This event is designed to drive traffic –without the necessity of discounting--- to comic shops on the busiest shopping weekend of the year. Coinciding with Small Business Saturday, there will be focus on supporting locally owned independent businesses.
Six Publishers have agreed to participate (Dark Horse, DC, Image, Marvel, ONI, and Valiant). We expect to sign up more publishers in the coming months.
