 Wizard World Los Angeles has come and gone, in fact it has been two weeks since the event, but never let it be said that Patrick is not timely!

Call for Eisner Nominees |

 Every year, the Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award recognizes "an individual retailer who has done an outstanding job of supporting the comics art medium both in the community and within the industry at large." Any one involved in comics can nominate their favorite retailer.
So, what we're saying is Atomic Comics excels in all the criteria used by the Eisner judges. In fact, it's really kind of a crime that we haven't won the award already. You can do your part to combat this gross injustice by downloading a PDF version of the nomination ballot, filling it out (store addresses can be found on the Contact page or the Our Stores page above), and mailing it to Comic-Con International.
