Steve Geppi Addresses Coronavirus’ Effect on Distribution

As everyone knows, the world faces ever-increasing challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Its effects on the comics & collectibles and tabletop gaming industries have been felt far and wide. We are hearing from thousands of retailers that they can no longer service their customers as they have in the past, many of them forced to close by government action or resort to in-person or curbside delivery. Even those still open are seeing reduced foot traffic in most cases, a situation that seems likely to worsen with time.

Anything scheduled to ship after April 1st as a new publication will now no longer be shipped.

If you have a local comic book store near you, please go out of your way to call them asap and see if you can set up a weekly purchase of gift cards, you’ll keep them afloat with recurring revenue and you’ll be able to get some good stuff when we’re able to venture back out into public.
