LOCAL COMIC SHOP DAY® - SEPTEMBER 27, 2025



Local Comic Shop Day®, the annual event honoring brick-and-mortar comic shops, is getting a full revamp for 2025. Focusing on the idea of comic shops as community hubs, Local Comic Shop Day® 2025 will feature new branding, new activities, and  new ways to celebrate why we shop local when we shop nerdy. The event, which will take place at comic shops internationally, on Saturday, September 27, will shift from its traditional variant-driven sales day to an entire campaign of events that will truly highlight what makes comic shops special.

NEW LOGO FOR NEW DIRECTION

The new logo, designed by Tim Daniel, writer and designer known for his work at Vault Comics and independent titles industry-wide spanning the last 20 years, reflects the idea of comic shops as a part of a neighborhood, while also invoking the small business feel.

 

“We asked Tim to redesign our logo to convey a change in direction for Local Comic Shop Day,” said Kate deNeveu, ComicsPRO Director of Operations.  “Retailers want the event to be a celebration of local comic shops and their place in the communities.    Our job at ComicsPRO is to bridge the gap and give participants the tools needed to run a truly successful community-building Local Comic Shop Day.  Tools like pre-written press releases, signage and sale ideas, marketing assets, instructions for running kid-friendly scavenger hunts, and much much more.  ComicsPRO’s greatest strength is the collective knowledge and experience of our members, and this year we’re putting it all to work.”
