      Comic shops and independent bookstores are in desperate need of financial help due to COVID-19.

      these stores supported us,

      now it’s our turn to support them!

      #Creators4Comics is a group of comic creators who are coming together to help save comic book retailers and independent bookstores by holding online Twitter auctions to directly benefit the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (BINC). BINC is taking applications now and they will start providing direct aid to stores at the end of April.

      We need your help! Whether you are a professional in the comics or book industry or a fan — it’s easy to join and make a difference. Ready to be a part of #Creators4Comics? Click here!

      With permission, we are borrowing the successful and simple Twitter charity auction format used by #AuthorsForFireys, which raised over $500,000 to assist Australian firefighting efforts.

      Click here to make a donation to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (BINC) without participating in an auction.
