Walmart has introduced Shortboxed, what it calls one of the largest comic book marketplaces in the industry. Shortbox offers a catalog of more than 75,000 books from thousands of sellers, including top-rated dealers and comic shops, and will feature a large portion of those on the Walmart Marketplace third-party online sales platform. Walmart Marketplace is the first marketplace where Shortboxed is selling products to customers, with security and authenticity of transactions guaranteed by Walmart. “With the launch of Shortboxed, exclusive collaborations and an expanding collectibles marketplace, Walmart is investing in the future of fan culture,” said Michael Mosser, VP and category lead, Walmart U.S. Marketplace, said. The retailer introduced Shortboxed during the annual New York Comic Con, where it also offered limited-edition comic books created in direct collaboration with publishers including DC, Marvel, Image, and Skybound as giveaways and prizes throughout the event, only at its booth.
