My current Bay Area Comic Book Stores coverage limit is roughly the 25-mile radius around Cape and Cowl Comics. If you’re a comic shop within a 25-mile radius of Cape and Cowl Comics and you’ve inadvertently been left off this list, please don’t be shy about contacting me. If you’re beyond that radius, but in the greater Bay Area I’d be happy to post your events if you contact me. theshareduniverse@gmail.com
COVID NOTE: Please check hours before visiting. They’re all out of whack because pandemic.
