ComicsPRO has named retailer Eric Kirsammer of Chicago Comics to the open spot on the organization’s board of directors.

Kirsammer has owned Chicago Comics since 1991 and received the Will Eisner “Spirit of Comics” Retailing Award in 1997. Kirsammer purchased Quimby’s bookstore in 1997.

Kirsammer was appointed to fill the board position of Ben Trujillo, of Star Clipper in St. Louis, Mo. Trujillo resigned to focus more fully on his MOBY point-of-sale system for comic retail outlets.

ComicsPRO is a retailer trade organization for comic book specialty stores. Its 140 member-retailers comprise approximately 180 storefronts.
