Skate Shop Day SSD 2026 Image Comics Grommets #1 Limited Reprint Comic Book by Brett Parson
Parson is a lifelong Massachusetts-based skateboarder and cartoonist. He is best known for his work on multiple Tank Girl titles, as well as work for DC/Vertigo, Boom!, 2000 AD, Albatross Funny Books, and more. Most recently Parson has received critical acclaim for his work on Image Comics’ smash hit ’80s skate comic, Grommets, co-created with writers Rick Remender and Brian Posehn.
“When I was growing up, drawing comics and skateboarding were the things I cared about most; the two have always gone hand in hand. And in this weird, lonely, online world we’re living in now, skate shops and comic shops are more important than ever. A place you can still go and meet like-minded people, hold physical objects in your hands, and support local family owned businesses,” said Parson.
Remender added: "Skateboarding, as the saying goes, changed my life. Grommets is a love letter to the scene that gave me a home, and a snapshot of being a skater in the mid-’80s, told with honesty and authenticity. Seeing the book find its way into the skate community and help promote Skate Shop Day is a genuine thrill for the entire team."
The popular series went on to catch the attention of legendary skate icon, Tony Hawk, who praised Grommets for its authentic portrayal of “the raw feeling of being an outcast kid in the 1980s, and why skateboarding became such a sacred salvation to a lucky few. The graphics, attitudes and language of that era are represented with a rare authenticity that will leave you wanting more.”
For Deluxe Distribution’s Jim Thiebaud, bringing skateboarding and comics together was a no brainer. “I've done a couple things almost my whole life: skateboard and read comics,” said Thiebaud. “My local comic shop, like my favorite skate shops, is a fun, welcoming hub for the community. Bringing both communities together for Skate Shop Day with the Shop Keepers decks by Brett just makes sense; two communities where independent shops are the backbone of the culture.”
Posehn added: “As a former employee of two skate shops (a long time ago) and wearer of Vans since '83, it is not lost on me how cool it is to have the Grommets crew involved with Skate Shop Day 2026. Stoked to be a part of an incredible event that gets people into skate shops. Hope you find what I loved about skating, the great friends.”
Parson’s SSD ’26 artwork is an ode to our fallen brother, Jeffery Blain Grosso.
