Image Comics has opened nominations for its Fall 2025 Image Select Retailer Award, recognizing comic book shops that demonstrate exceptional service and community engagement. The nomination period runs through Monday, October 6, with the winner to be announced October 8 during the Lunar retailer event at New York Comic Con.

Fans can nominate their local stores based on qualities such as customer service, creative displays, inclusivity, innovative marketing, and support for creator-owned comics. The winning retailer will receive a commemorative medallion, a store window cling, a spotlight Q&A on Image’s website and social media, and a gold foil exclusive variant featuring the store’s logo.

The Image Select Retailer Award celebrates members of the direct market community who help grow readership and sustain independent comics. Nomination details are available through Image Comics’ official website.
