Cherry Bomb Comics is currently living in a garage so unable to host events like in the good old days when we were a real shop. (Tho maybe we'll have a garage party in the summertime...!) We have the historical events documented in the shop archive which will be available soon on the website.
Think of the shop as a travelling circus now, we may turn up in your hometown when you least expect it!
