Local Comic Shop Day 2026

Organized by ComicsPRO, this year’s LCSD is pulling out all the stops. Rather than just drowning us in variant covers, publishers are bringing exclusive early releases, limited editions, and high-profile debuts specifically for participating stores.

Sneak Peek Titles

• Dungeon Crawler Carl Graphic Novel Vol. 2 (Early Release!): Fans of the hit series can snag the Vault Comics graphic novel ten full days before the rest of the world. Glurp Glurp!

• The Future Is ****** #18 (Alpha LCSD Advance Release): Dropping early exclusively for LCSD, featuring a special polybagged variant cover and an exclusive Backdoors & Breaches playing card.

• Star Trek #1 (LCSD Exclusive): IDW is dropping a stunning exclusive cover by Elizabeth Beals featuring Captain Seven of Nine revising her Borg identity.

• Amazing Spider-Man #1000: An exclusive milestone variant by Skan Srisuwan.

• Classic Johnny Cash: Z2 Comics is bringing a special reprint of the original 1975 Johnny Cash biocomic.

The POP! Shop Vibe

We are making September 26 a true celebration of the Sandusky comics community. Whether you are hunting for that $20 Travis Charest foil cover, looking to try a brand new indie series, or just want to hang out and talk about the latest pulls, this is your day.

Note: All exclusive LCSD items are strictly first-come, first-served. We highly recommend getting here early if you are hunting for a specific drop!
