Carmine Street Comics

#blackoutday2020 #BlackLivesDOMatter

This was us in May of 2013. Today marks the seven year anniversary of our first day open! The grand opening with hope in our hearts, a jump in our step, and barely anything on the walls! While you cannot visit us at the physical store right now you CAN celebrate the re-opening of our ONLINE store here: https://carminestreetcomics.square.site ... We are still here. Or there... depending on how you think of a website. There were lots of reasons we weren’t supposed to make it this far. Still are. The newest, biggest one is the 2020 global covid-19 pandemic. But we are still here. WE are STILL here. Happy May Day everyone! https://carminestreetcomics.square.site

Your comics education video for the night: How much $$$ do comics creators really make?

You’ve got one shot at making a BEST-SELLING comic-book but you have to choose between publishing your own: Cape-less tale at the Big Two? or Indie superhero epic? ... BOTH are extremely risky! Make your case!

Tonight is a monthly ordering night. Comics shops across North America are making the call about small publishers’ #comics TWO MONTHS AWAY tonight. We’re ordering with faith. Faith in our customers, faith in publishers, faith in comics, faith that the world will get through this eventually and you’ll all still want something to read.

Our favorite kind of customer is the customer who communicates. All the time. But ESPECIALLY now.

Your #comics educational video for the night! Who are letterers? What do they do? Where did the ‘comic-book font’ come from?

We are complying with the New York State mandated non-essential businesses shut down. The store will not be open until it is safe for all. If you have comics on-hold or on-order, reach out and we will look at your options.
