Sat02Feb2013Dear Friends:I'm back in the plaza at Speedway and Craycroft and by the first of February I'll have all of my back stock available again and I plan on doing quarterly charity events again. The first one will benefit the good work of the fine folks at the St Jude Children's Research Hospital. It will take place all day, from ten AM until five PM on Saturday, the second of February. There will be a raffle for prizes, raffle tickets will be two for a dollar and there will be a coloring contest for the kids to win prizes. Some of the artwork the kids will be coloring is featured here under the 'Kid's Corner' tab. There will also be a silent auction for donated original art and, of course there will be local comic artists and writers promoting their books and doing sketches. The creators that have confirmed their attendance so far are:Henry Barajas, writer/creator of 'El Loco', Captain Unikorn' and journalist for 'Comic Beat'Santino Castaneda, contributor to Evil Robo Press' 'Ash Tray Comics' anthologyJohn Chihak, writer/creator/artist of 'Youth in Asia' and 'Fuzzyface'Eric Esquivel, writer/creator of Moonstone's 'Black Terror', 'Thor, the Unkillable Thunder Christ', Big Dog Ink's 'Electric Youth' and Boom!

Check back as I will update this page as more details are solidified. Mark your calendar, support local artists and help the St Jude folks work towards a cure.Talk to you soon,Peace,Charlie

Charlie’s Comic Books is one of thousands of comic book shops around the world celebrating the comic book art form on Saturday, May 4th. On Free Comic Book Day, over 3.3 million comic books will be given away by participating stores, introducing as many people as possible to the wonders of comic books!
If you would like a preview of what free comic books will be available, check out the following list(s).
Free Comic Book Day Selections
BONUS: Previous Free Comic Book Day Selections still available
In addition to sharing our love of comics, we will also be collecting donations for the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona. The PDF linked below lists the most needed food items for our current season, but I would like to encourage cash donations whenever possible. The Food Bank has resources that allow them to purchase NINE DOLLARS worth of food for every ONE DOLLAR donated so a dollar is more helpful to the cause than a can of soup.
As an extra added attraction sandwich maker's extraordinaire, Jimmy John's will be delivering a thirty piece platter to the event at eleven o'clock and a second thirty piece platter at three o'clock!
