Okay, I have an idea that I would like to challenge some other creators to jump in on if they can!
I got the idea watching a great talk by Andrea, owner of a great shop near me, @BWP_EUG.
It's not a HUGE thing but it might help a little.

Andrea said that when stores re-open, money for new books will be a little tight in many shops.
And many publishers have been sending me books for a long time. I know it's the same for a LOT of working professionals.

If you have a comics shop in Lane County, Oregon (I may go further if stock holds out), once you re-open, I will bring you a BIG box of comics, mostly tpbs and hardbacks. Mostly DC but I'll try to mix it up. Sell them, use them as door prizes, whatever helps.

There will be stuff by creators like @Ssnyder1835 @TomKingTK @TomTaylorMade and more. I will try to make sure there are some big ticket items in each box.
I will include some books signed by me in each box but mostly it's a big random selection of great books. 4/

There's a LOT of Batman and Justice League and Vertigo and other top-tier stuff, and none of it has been read or handled. I will only open the boxes up to make sure every store gets some top shelf items. If I add stuff from my collection, it will be unread, unhandled. 5/
So if you HAVE a store in Lane County, Oregon, or very nearby, drop me a note here or on Facebook, it can be handled anonymously, if you like.
I'll be delivering them myself, happy to sign books at your store if it works out time-wise. 6/

If I have enough stock left over, I can try to expand the deal to other stores in the state.
Again, do what you want with them, anything that helps is great with me.

Other creators, any of you have lots of books that could be helping these shops? :)
Let's do this! :)
Shops, let me know and I'll make a list and get your box ready during this quarantine! Minimal handling, all while gloved.
Fun! End/

PS. I will put a couple scripts in each box, too, for prizes or whatever.

PPS, I know a lot of shops are not keeping up with twitter right now, so if you know of a shop in the area and you have a friend there, please feel free to let them know and I'll make them a box!
