Where do these store listings come from?

We’re super nerds, and we love local comic shops. We got frustrated that many are not online, or buried in Facebook, so we spent a long time creating a database of super cool shops. It’s all hand curated.

How do I get my shop listed?

We’re happy to give a free, “basic” listing for any comic shop on the planet. Just email us at aloha@csnpress.com

Why do some shops have a picture & description and others just show the address?

All shops get a free “basic” listing, which is the shop name, address and link to get directions. Here’s an example of a “basic” listing below:

All shops that offer Comic Shop News each week get a free “premium” listing. We do this as a “thank you” for all the shops that carry CSN. See example below.
