TONIGHT/TOMORROW: Adam Hughes Get-Together/Signing
“Man, I wish there was a way for me to hang out with Adam Hughes this weekend.”
How many times have we all heard or thought these very words? I myself have lost count–but rest easy, Friends and Neighbors. This very weekend, we have not one but TWO excellent opportunities for you to hang out with Adam Hughes, and we cordially invite you to take advantage of both!
First up, tonight at 7pm, we’ll be hosting a casual little party in our store, complete with snacks and drinks and Adam himself, plus a bunch of us and a bunch of you. We’ll have copies of Adam’s brand new art book: Cover Run: The DC Art Of Adam Hughes for you to peruse and ooh and ahh over and even buy (our favorite option). This is a rare opportunity to hang out with Adam (and us, don’t forget us) in a relaxed setting where you don’t have to race pell-mell across the convention floor to get into a long line or anything. Adam seems like a quiet, almost shy dude at first, but once he gets going he’s pretty hilarious. I give him full marks, you guys: definitely worth meeting.
After that, go to bed, kiss your husband or wife or children or dog goodnight, get some good sleep so that you can wake up tomorrow and come back for Adam’s signing, going on from 2-4pm! He’ll be signing his art book, but I bet he’d be okay with signing one or two other things if you felt like bringing them. It’s going to be a sweet book, a sweet night, and a sweet afternoon tomorrow–don’t miss it!
Hey folks! Dustin is absolutely right on all accounts! I just want to add a couple of things that you may be interested in.
First off, for those buyers… a few have asked, the cover price of the book is $39.99. A bargain at twice the price! It is beautiful and instructional and funny too! Adam wrote the whole thing featuring his process, including prelims and black and white originals as well as the finished pieces are all in there.
If you are outside our area (or even inside) and can’t make it to one of the signing times, you can still own a signed copy of this awesome book. Just PayPal $45 to me at shelton@heroesonline.com and I’ll have Adam sign one just for you and mail it to you early next week. Let me know in the notes if you want it signed to you or to someone else as a gift, or just signed. That gift idea is a great one though!
Lastly, I KNOW the USA soccer team plays tomorrow at exactly the same time as Adam’s signing. Not to worry! We have four TV’s in the store an I can guarantee they will all be tuned to the World Cup. Let’s celebrate together…Adam Hughes’ masterpiece book “Cover Run” and the USA advancing to the round of 8!!!
I hope to see everyone at one or both of these events!
Thank you for hosting such a fun evening. Adam and “his pack” were awesome
I can’t believe 3 hours flew by so quickly. Great conversation with such great people. The comic culture you have developed and nurtured here in the Queen City is a joy to be behold
Thanks again.
PS– USA, USA, USA (repeat when necessary).
Thanks for the event. It was nice to finally get a chance to meet Adam (I always missed him at HeroesCon). And to pick up a couple of books. One for a gift and one for me! All that and a Catwoman sketch…what could be better?
