Image Comics announced that the Image Select Retailer Award for Summer 2025 is now open for nominations. And the deadline to nominate a store is Monday, the 21st of July. Image invites fans to nominate their local comic shops for this award based on criteria such as exemplary customer service
thoughtful and exciting handselling recommendations, efforts fostering a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, easy-to-browse shelving, attractive and innovative displays, forward-thinking customer marketing and out-of-box consumer outreach community engagement, robust inventory of, and support for, Image Comics and other creator-owned/indie comics.
To nominate a shop, comic book readers are encouraged to simply fill out the form with their local store's name, location, and summarise some of the ways their store goes the extra mile to create a great retail experience for them and other customers.One winner will be announced on Thursday, the 24th of July, at the Lunar retailer event at San Diego Comic-Con and will receive:
- a commemorative medallion to display with pride
- an Image Select Retailer Award window cling for their store's window
- a spotlight Q&A to be featured on Image Comics' social media platforms and Website
- the store's choice of a gold foil exclusive variant, branded as an Image Select Retailer Award winner, with store logo (limited to 250 copies).
The Image Select Retailer Award is an initiative to galvanise recognition of members of the Comic Book Direct Market retail community who are going above and beyond to serve their customers, expand readership, and grow a healthier marketplace. The previous winners of the Image Select Retailer Award were Nirvana Comics in Knoxville, Tennessee, Hall of Justice Comics in Parker, Colorado, Peebles Comics & Games in Peebles, Scotland and Four Color Fantasies in Winchester, Virginia. They do seem to favour the more provincial choices, so anyone is in with a chance.
