An Indianapolis comic book store, already struggling from the pandemic, is now trying to stay positive after its windows were shattered during the unrest.It's terrible they had to suffer this, and so soon after Coronavirus already did harm to many comic book sellers' business. But, it's good they're making an effort to stand the business erect again, and free of politics to boot. This is a most inspiring example.
Downtown Comics boarded the windows up and is now covering them with primer to try and do something positive.
"I'm going to primer it all and turn it into a big canvas.. and I've invited all my customers who are artists to make a big super-hero mural and make the whole front of the store look comic-booky," said Doug Stephenson.
Artists need to bring their own supplies starting tomorrow and it can't be anything political — just fun.
Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.
