Thanks to our friends at the Eugene Public Library and the UO Comics Studies Program for helping to sponsor this event.
No catches or strings attached! We're excited to share the love of comic books with everyone who comes! You can choose four free comics per person (at least until we run out!)
Events will take place at our shop (map is here) and at the Eugene Public Library. We're only one block away from each other! We're right downtown, so it's convenient and easy to walk, ride your bike, or take the bus. If you're driving, the Overpark, Parkade, and Broadway Parking lots are each about two blocks away and free to park on Saturdays. There is also street parking and parking at the Eugene Public Library.

 

The Cosplay Contest is very simple! Come to our event in costume & take a picture of yourself--we're even providing a photo-op station at the Library! Then, post the pic to social media by 9:00 PM Saturday and tag it #bwpeugfcbd2023. If you prefer, ask a volunteer to take a pic & we'll post it to our account. Then, on Sunday we'll contact all the winners!

First place will win a $50 Gift Card, Second Place will win a $25 Gift Card, and Third Place will win a $10 Gift Card!

We've got a wide array of prizes including signed books, cool figures and statues, gift cards to the shop, and tickets to WasabiCon in Portland! There are various ways to earn raffle tickets: You can buy raffle tickets for $1 each, or you can earn them. You can also earn tickets buy donating a gently used book to the book drive (3 tickets per book) or buying a book for the book drive (5 tickets per book). You'll also get one ticket for every $10 you spend in the store.

ECCO High School is is an alternative high school here in Eugene offering a state-accredited diploma through credit recovery opportunities and GED programs. They stress equity, community, and self-advocacy through trauma informed teaching practices, as well as offering students smaller class sizes for more personalized instruction.
ECCO is in the process of rebuilding their library, but has a limited budget. Well, we thought a great way to help out would be to run a book drive! We're encouraging folks to bring in gently used books or purchase new books to help ECCO build a rockin' library! You'll get raffle tickets for your donation, so not only will you be helping local students, you'll get the chance to win cool prizes!
You're welcome to bring in books you already own to have signed. We will also have a TON of books by our visiting creators available for purchase at the shop. PLEASE NOTE: Books cannot be purchased on site at the library, so swing by the shop on your way to the library!
We sure could use some help! If you're interested and available, please sign up to volunteer at this link.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to get in touch!
