- **Event Name**: Shopping for Superman Documentary Screening
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 20 Nov, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: You're invited to a complimentary screening of the 2025 Eisner Award winning documentary, Shopping for Superman!

Shopping for Superman guides viewers through a 50-year journey revealing the origin story of their friendly neighborhood comic shops and the people fighting to keep their doors open.

Since it began, the retail comics industry has contracted by over 75% with more shops closing every month.

After five years of diminished sales, a global pandemic, distributor upsets, and the digitization of retail shopping dominating most markets, Shopping for Superman asks the question, “Can our local comic shops be saved?”

Shopping for Superman does more than explain the history of retail comic book shops. Its underlying narrative reveals how shops directly influenced comic book publishing to cultivate some of the most daring and controversial materials ever committed to print.

Through the evolution of comics, bolstered by shop owners, local communities gained access to safe spaces for individuals having a crisis of identity, a place that promoted literacy and critical thinking in areas where those things are scarce.

Audiences will see, first-hand, just how necessary their support will be in keeping these shops open and available for future generations.

Features interviews with comic book creators such as Kevin Eastman (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), actors like Todd Stashwick (Star Trek: Picard), and comic shop owners, including our very own, Marc Bowker!
