| - What can I say about CnJ's Comics that hasn't already been said?
Well for starters, I've been coming here for years. Not just for the comics alone though. If you're into the culture, this is a great place to just hang out and shoot the breeze. The staff is super friendly and very helpful when it comes to finding you that right book or collectible, and won't ever make you feel like an unwelcome guest. The store is always clean and well organized. They even have both a section of books aimed for the younger crowd, and a play area for the kids to play with an assortment of action figures. All around the atmosphere of the place is amazing.
However, this place has so much more to offer than what they sell. Beyond their epic collection, Carol and John's really sets itself apart from other shops in the area. Free Comic Book Day being one such event where they really prove themselves as a mainstay both within the culture and the community. And when it comes to community, they're definitely about contributing to it: From raffles with proceeds going to the local food banks, to holiday and midnight release parties in appreciation to the customers; they do it all. For instance, this year for Earth Day 2013, they're encouraging customers to come in and recycle any of their old and unwanted comics. Those who participate will receive an eco-friendly shopping bag branded with the shop's logo, a copy of Massive #1 (an ecological thriller), and will be entered into a raffle for the VIP treatment on Free Comic Book Day (May 4th); which comes with the guarantee of scoring all of the awesome freebies they have to offer for the day. Speaking of FCBD, Carol and John's is the only comic shop in the Cleveland area celebrating the 75th anniversary of Superman by offering an exclusive custom covered comic commemorating his ties to Cleveland!
And did I mention that John Dudas just so happens to also be a firefighter for the City of Cleveland? The people who own and run this shop are all about upholding many of the great values and virtues that you can read about in many of the books they have to offer.
In an age where technology makes it easier to access media in the palm of your hand anywhere in the world, CnJ's still finds a way to keep me coming back to purchase carbon copies of all of my favorite superhero stories. All in all, Carol and John's really is a unique place to visit and I hope you dear reader, will also support such a great place.
