NEXT SUNDAY :: Afrodisiac’s JIM RUGG In The Hizzy!
Next Sunday, while Shelton’s selling comics at Wes Tillander’s Atlanta Comic Con, and before you sit down to the Super Bowl (or something else, depending on your interests), we hope you’ll sit down with us for a store signing/discussion group hybrid that should be pretty righteous.
Afrodisiac co-creator and artist Jim Rugg will all up in our store to sign and discuss the book, which is getting some pretty high-falutin’ reviews lately from up and down the comics press! Jim is a great guy too, and a stellar cartoonist, and a super-knowledgeable dude, so any discussion with him in it is sure to be a fascinating one. Our own Discussion Group leader Andy Mansell will be on hand to grill Jim, which I am double-definitely looking forward to.
NOTE that, due to the Super Bowl at 6 or 6.30 or whenever that thing cranks up, we’ve moved the signing up by an hour so that people can get home afterwards to see the game. Earlier announcements had it at 3-6pm.
Oh, that reminds me–the discussion itself (and the book) are not for kids, so please be advised! There are so many quadruple entendres in that thing, I don’t think you could discuss a single page of it in a “SFW” way, you know what I mean?
I’ll link up the trailer video below again, just because I love watching it. Note the “December 2009” release date–bogus! Okay, hope to see you guys there next Sunday!
My LCS is ordering me one of those RIGHT NOW! They had sold out by the time I got in this week. Looks right down my alley…would you expect anything less from the Russman…And hey, due to the miracles of modern science, can we webcam? I’d love to sit in if somehow possible! Spanx homies!!!
December 2009 actually was a release date.. just a special advance one!
Oh.. and that’s right. I”ll be there too.
Jeez!
Dang Brohambles I forgot to mention that! Hey you guys, also AdHouse Books Publisher-In-Chief and longtime Heroes-buddy Chris Pitzer will be cold-chilling in full effect. And we may beam Rusty in on some kind of closed caption big-screen thing, like Obama on the Colbert Report.
I’ll keep HOPE alive…
I’d love to come to this but it’s my daughter’s birthday. Is there any chance I could get a copy (signed by Jim, maybe?!?) set aside for me?
Hey folks! We just got a nice restock on this book! Thanks Chris for getting them to us so fast! AND we are open today and everyday, even though Charlotte is “crippled” with this snow! Give me a break…come on in and get something to curl up with and read this weekend.
And Rich, I’m sure we can get you hooked up with that signed copy!
Thanks, Shelton!
Chris, are you going to bring any other AdHouse Books with you? I’ll be there on Sunday, and I’m looking for THB if it’s available. Would love to peruse y’all’s back-catalog…
Hey Y’all… sorry I haven’t responded of late.. since we got SNOW!
heh.
James, yep, I’ll be sure to pack a “magic box”, full of all types of wonderment. And I’ll try and remember to put a THB in there. I found a few a couple weeks back.
There is about an 80% chance I’ll be there, but it depends on a lot of variables. I’ll have to wait until Sunday morning to see if I can make it. Hopefully everything will work out.
Come on bro-diddly-ding-dong, you can do it!
And you other guys, do me a favor and help us get the word out–a store signing by an indie creator on Super Bowl Sunday is not the most ideal of circumstances, but I think we can make lemonade here. Delicious lemonade. Ruggleade? Anyway.
Thanks to everyone who helped, made it out, and picked up the book. We LOVE you!
