The paper you grabbed on the way out, kept for good.
Every issue we have printed is being scanned, tagged and added here week by week. Read any of it on the site, and download the file when you want a copy of your own.
Way back in 1987, Cliff Biggers and Ward Batty started Comic Shop News® as a weekly, print fanzine for stores, with a focus on the best new comics available for pre-order.
Almost 40 years later, we’re the last of the print fanzines standing.
Since the beginning, CSN has been at the heart of the comics industry. CSN was the first print appearance of Deadpool and Spawn. CSN was Geoff Johns first writing gig. CSN is where Brian Michael Bendis launched ‘Powers’ and was featured in the opening credits ofKevin Smith’s film, ‘Chasing Amy’. Reading old issues of CSN is like stepping back in time machine to experience comics history, week by week. In a world of disposable, digital first culture, it’s simply remarkable that this little print newspaper hasn’t missed a week for almost 40 years.
Today, Comic Shop News® is still covering all the great comics, toys, books and games available for purchase at your local comic shop. Read by more than 40,000 people each week, available every Wednesday at your local comic shop.

Every issue from the beginning is being digitized into one searchable collection that is free to search and browse. Members can download any issue, DRM free, and new issues go up as they come off the press every wednesday.
