They’ve always been there providing a refuge where you can escape the world and find kindred minds.

Before nerd became mainstream, before geek became global – local comic book shops have long been the source where to find new and classic adventures of iconic super heroes and discover new characters to cheer, cry and scream with and at.

Before movies came comics. Many of the writers and artists who inspired today’s biggest box-office hits were inspired in the racks at small stores. Now fans can share in the source of power that fuels our favorite movies and shows.

Saturday, November 19th is the second Local Comic Shop Day across America. This event celebrates independent comic book specialty stores and their role as the foundation of medium.

More than 550 shops will join forces to offer unique comic book genre items from major publishers (Dark Horse, DC, Image, Marvel, Aftershock, Boom! Studios and Oni Press) that will only be available in the stores. Here’s a link to items available – some will  be extremely limited and not all stores will have every item.

Find participating stores near you by searching here. We’ll be at our friendly neighborhood shop Zanadu Comics in Seattle, an iconic store more than 40 years in the Emerald City.
