LCSD is a five-year old event conceived and implemented by ComicsPRO comic book specialty retailers to call attention to locally owned independent comic book specialty stores, celebrating their vital role in being the primary fire-starters of pop culture. Pop Culture begins in your Local Comic Shop! And this year we want to jazz it up by offering some raffles! Beginning today, Wednesday, October 14th, each purchase of $20 or more from Fantom (online or in-store) through LCSD, Wednesday, November 25th, will make you eligible for one entry into our Local Comic Shop Day Full Run Raffles.

It is the story of beating the odds, in ways that count, for a group of orphans who discover the care and let it take them to better places in their imagination.

Fantom and Pop Culture Uncovered is together again to bring this month's read, Big Black: Stand at Attica; written by Frank Smith and Jared Reinmuth with art by Ameziane published by Boom Studios!
The uprising at Attica Prison remains one of the bloodiest civil rights confrontations in American history. ... but without Frank "Big Black" Smith it could have been even worse. Now for the first time, the late Frank "Big Black" Smith shares his experience at the center of this uprising, struggling to protect hostages, prisoners and negotiators alike.
Before his death, Frank "Big Black" Smith worked with Jared Reinmuth, the son of his lawyer, to share the true story of his time in Attica State Prison. Adapted to a graphic novel by Ameziane (Dark Horse's Muhammad Ali), this is an unflinching look at the price of standing up to injustice.
