LCS Challenge

ac_flyer_tn.gif

This is the Around Comics LCS challenge. It's really simple. We've made a letter sized flyer that we'd like you to ask your local comic shop owner or manager if they can display. If they do, we'll not only mention you and the shop on our show, we'll post a link to their store on our site.

There are two ways to get the flyer. You can download it here and print it out yourself, or send us an e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with your address and we'll send flyers to you in the mail. We would liket to thank every one for their support.
