Thought Bubble Launch a Comic Donation Drive

Comic books are for everyone! Sadly, they're not accessible to everyone, but Thought Bubble has come up with a solution. They are launching the Comic Book Drive, where you are invited to donate comic books, which they will distribute to schools, libraries and charities!

Thought Bubble is inviting all comic book fans, collectors, creators, publishers and comic shops to donate new and used comic books, to help with their ambitious goal; to put comics into the hands of more people than ever!

The donations will be collected and donated to schools, libraries and charitable organisations across the UK. Every single donation is greatly received. The drive is open until the end of 2021, and you can donate your pre-loved or new comic books to drop off points, and at the Thought Bubble Comic Convention, as well as via post.

How you can donate

There are currently five stores signed up to create Comic Book Drive Drop-Off points.

• Travelling Man Leeds, 32 Central Rd, Leeds LS1 6DE
• Travelling Man Manchester, 4 Dale St, Manchester M1 1JW
• Travelling Man York, 74 Goodramgate, York YO1 7LF
• Travelling Man Newcastle, 43 Grainger St, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 5JE
• Destination Venus, Westgate House, Station Parade, Harrogate HG1 1HQ

Please check opening times, donations should be handed to a member of staff and not left outside.

There will also be a drop-off point at Thought Bubble Comic Convention on 13-14 Nov 2021, at the Harrogate Convention Centre.

If you can't get to a drop-off point, you can post them to this address: Comic Book Drive, Thought Bubble, 4-6 Wharf St, Leeds, LS2 7QE.

This is a brilliant idea and one that we'd love to see expand beyond 2021 and even other parts of the country like down the South of England.
