This year, for Local Comic Shop Day, ComicsPRO suggested that publishers offer special print-to-order items, limited editions, sales on backlist titles, free promos such as bookplates, posters, and stickers, early-release editions, LCSD-branded blind bags, and advertising. “We’re talking to publishers about variant fatigue with Local Comic Shop Day variants,” ComicsPRO Director of Operations Kate deNeveu said after Local Comic Shop Day 2025, “and… part of my ask for 2026 is asking publishers to provide more community event materials, rather than variant covers.” Well, an advance edition of next month’s issue of the comic might do the trick. But I also hear that longtime Star Trek covers artist Elizabeth Beals will be doing a Local Comic Shop Day variant cover for the new Star Trek #1 from IDW out in September…
Local Comic Shop Day is an annual worldwide event of brick-and-mortar comic book stores, highlighting their role as community hubs for readers, creators, and fans, organised by ComicsPRO, the trade organisation for comic retailers. On this day, participating stores typically offer exclusive, limited-edition comics, variant covers, and collectables, as well as special events like creator signings, panels, sales, giveaways, or community activities, with
promotions to draw in both regular customers and new visitors.
