They didn’t win, but one of my favorite comic shops in all the land– Acme Comics in Greensboro, NC– was nominated for the 2010 Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailing Award! It’s the highest honor a comic shop can get, and Acme has been nominated twice now.
Believe me, it’s well deserved. I’ve been a special guest at the last two Free Comic Book Day events they’ve hosted, and thousands turned out. They run a classy, clean, fun, and open shop, with a selection that simply can’t be beat. They bring in comic creators for numerous appearances and signings, and reach out to the local community in various ways.
Don’t just accept my word as truth– here’s their Eisner nomination video, made by another one of their numerous, numerous fans:
