Fresh from news that my local town, Leamington Spa, will be hosting it's first ever comic con on Saturday October 18 at The Royal Leamington Spa Pump Rooms after a successfully funded Indiegogo campaign, the guys at Comics Etc, a locally based pop-up comic book store which has been appearing locally at film festivals, music festivals and events in the local area, are hoping to find a more permanent home and open a bricks and mortar comic book store. They want their store to offer a unique experience where customers can interact and meet like minded individuals while at the same time promoting local small press and hosting local community events such as film nights and game nights.
And over the last year that they've been popping up, the most repeated question they've had is "Have you got a store?" Well that is where you and their Indiegogo campaign can help make this happen.
They hope to raise a minimum of £5000 which will go a long way towards opening a small retail unit, with the sourcing of basic fixtures and fittings and also help add additional stock such as small press, manga and classic back issues.
And as with any crowd funding campaign, there are the perks to tempt you. These range from getting your name read out in their inaugural podcast thanking you for your contribution, to gift bundles, special T shirts, tote bags, engraved comic art and locally commissioned art.
Check out their campaign video below and head over to their Indiegogo campaign page and help make Leamington Spa cool with it's own comic store!
