IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM TKO:
 

Comic Book Shops are the lifeblood of our industry, and Coronavirus is threatening their existence. 

Over the last week, we’ve seen empty comic book shops, mandatory shut-downs, and shop owners worried they will not be able to keep their stores afloat during this pandemic.

TKO Studios wants to help you fight back.

Until the end of the Coronavirus threat, when any customer chooses your store during checkout at tkopresents.com, TKO will send your store 50% of the purchase price, the exact same amount your store would have made selling the book via your brick-and-mortar store.

The sale of 10 books will give a store between $100-150, the sale of 100 books will give a store between $1,000-1,500. We know that for many stores every sale counts and TKO Studios wants to help alleviate the pressure until the pandemic passes and you can return to regular business.

Please share this message and make sure your community is aware of this opportunity.

If you are receiving this email, your store should already be on our list for customers to choose from. If you don’t see your store listed and wish to add it, you can do so at this link.

Comics will persevere. Our culture will persevere. We will persevere.

As always, much love from the TKO team.

Our mail order department will still be here receiving and sending out shipments so we don’t expect any delays with any orders that have been placed. As this does not affect our online business, we will continue to take online orders and will ship as usual.

For comic shop customers and other consumers, PULLBOX will be free to use from the PREVIEWSworld.com website.
“We want every comics fan to use PULLBOX, so they can easily track the items they want to purchase and place orders with their local comic shop,” said Powell. “You will be able to easily connect to the local comic shop of your choice and transmit your orders and requests to them.”

Here are some of the service’s features and functionality, which includes:

Manage Preorders. Add titles to your monthly pull-and-hold list, order additional titles and products from that month’s PREVIEWS preorder catalog.

Place Special Orders or Keep a Wishlist. Forgot to order a title or saw something new coming in to comic shops that you want to purchase? Customers can use PULLBOX to place a special order with their comic book shop to purchase. They can also keep a Wishlist of other items and then send it to their retailer to see if they have any items in their store.
