COMIC SHOP OWNERS:
Django Bohren of The Comics Place in Bellingham, WA posted this on FB. He & Jeffrey Figley are co-sponsoring 3 shops' first-time trips to the annual ComicsPRO meeting in Feb! Haven't been to a ComicsPRO meetup? Go apply (it's a super simple process) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Jeff and I, as Comic Shop Assistant, are sponsoring three shops' first-time trips to the annual ComicsPRO meeting in February. This is super exciting to be able to do, and we're grateful to be in a position to be able to make this happen for comic shops who are hungry to learn. If you haven't been to the ComicsPRO meeting before, please go apply (it's a super simple process): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScUs1JDZrmyZR2_SMlXn6peSlJOUM4iLu-V8zBeMVD89B4SWg/viewform Here's the official press release: Binc Offers Additional ComicsPRO Scholarships for First-Time Attendees ANN ARBOR, MI—Thanks to the co-owners of Comics Place in Bellingham, WA, three additional scholarships will be provided to first-time attendees of the ComicsPRO industry meeting in Glendale, CA, February 18-21, 2026. This is in addition to the four scholarships funded by the Book Industry Charitable (Binc) Foundation. The funds, up to $1,500 per scholarship, may be used for travel, lodging, and meals; ComicsPRO will cover the registration fee for the meeting. The deadline to apply for the seven scholarships is Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025, at 5 p.m. EST. “We appreciate how ComicsPRO helps foster relationships between ourselves and other comic shops, all while pushing our industry forward,” said Jeffrey Figley, co-owner of Comics Place and co-founder of Comic Shop Assistant, both with Django Bohren. “We truly believe that inviting other stores to experience the annual meeting helps our industry get stronger, solves more problems, and will help anybody in this business remember why they love it.” Bohren added that Binc helped pay his rent during the pandemic. “The simple way they asked, ‘are you in the comic industry? Would $1,000 help you pay rent?’ removed all my hang ups about needing to ask for help. We want to do that for shops who can use a boost getting to this critical annual event, and we are stoked that Binc can help.” the Comics Pro Logo
