      • ​At OG Comics, we’re more than just a retailer of comics, books, and memorabilia. Our mission is deeply rooted in our community. We believe in the transformative power of storytelling, especially for kids who may not have access to these experiences. Through our initiatives, we aim to inspire future innovators, creators, and artists, while also fostering a love for reading among those who may not otherwise have the opportunity.
      • ​We believe that reading offers a much-needed escape from the challenges of the real world, creating a magical realm where anything is possible. It’s our sincere hope to share this joy and sense of wonder with others, helping to build a brighter, more imaginative world for all.

  • Miles for Madison Foundation
    • Miles for Madison is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing recreational and educational opportunities to families with children with special needs.
    • The charity is named after Madison Reynolds, who had lissencephaly, a rare genetic disorder that required 24-hour care. Although she had to use a wheelchair, she loved being in motion. Madison was happiest on bike, horseback, amusement park rides, in her swing, and being pushed in her wheelchair on family runs. After moving to Sterling Ranch, her family would take her on long walks in the fresh air to explore the perimeter of their new community as new parks and playgrounds were being built. After Madison’s death, her family was committed to honoring her memory by helping other families with disabled children. This charity’s goal is to support families when insurance fails them. Miles 4 Madison provides them with essential recreational opportunities that are often the first items to get cut from the family budget yet are essential experiences that make lasting memories for the entire family.
