Unfortunately the time has come to come together and have to help save a staple of the Tucson comic book community. Charlies Comics is having super tough time in this troubled economy. Due to the new times making it harder to get credit and loans, Charlies Comics is in danger of shutting its doors... FOREVER!
Charlie Harris has been a big time supporter of small press, independent comics and free speech for years now. He hosts semi annual events to totally (read 100% of profits) benefit local charities. Charlies was the only place in town that could have and would have supported a Tucson version of Wonder Woman Day to benefit a local domestic abuse shelter and outreach center.
Charlie works tirelessly to raise a family and keep his shop in the best condition and with the most knowledge and resources available. He has worked for years in the community and for older shoppers of Fantasy Comics, you might remember him. He has his own shop now on the corner of Craycroft and 22nd Street in the Brookline College shopping plaza.
Charlie has been there in tough times for all of us small press creators, as well as being there for the average person in the community.
It is time we give something back. That is why I am asking you, the public to bombard Charlies not only with support and well wishes, but with your hard earned monies that you spend on entertainment.
As a community we need to say enough to simply letting small businesses descend into our memories. Small businesses are vital to our local economy. To price regulation and to bringing our economy back to where it was years back.
DAMN THE MAN!
SAVE CHARLIES COMICS!
