Manuel A. Carmona, Phil Buck and Carmelo Chimera founded Buy Indie Comics Day so indie comics creators around the World could synergize on a single day designed to celebrate their work. It's our hope that retailers across the globe will take this chance to stock up on indie comics, that consumers will take a risk on new comics and creators they've probably never heard of and that creators have an event to showcase their work to a much larger audience.
