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.

#creators4comics 1/
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.

So... 2/
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.

3/
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.

7/
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!
