Jeff Smith’s “Dawn of Man” National Tour 2023
Key West, FL – February 9, 2023:  New York Times Bestselling Author Jeff Smith and his publishing house, Cartoon Books, embark on their first national tour in years in support of Smith’s new critically acclaimed series: TUKI. The tour consists of several convention appearances as well as a unique component – Old Route 66 – where we’ll be giving presentations and signings at each stop. Beginning in March and lasting through October, we have 15 confirmed stops with more to be added throughout the year!
What folks are saying about Jeff Smith’s TUKI: “2022 Best Graphic Novel for Adults” AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
“Best Original Graphic Novel of the Year” COMIC BOOK COUPLES COUNSELING PODCAST
“Fight for Family is just what you would expect from the creator of Bone and RASL–an immersive, emotional, and delightful visual masterpiece.” THE COMICS JOURNAL
“If Smith’s iconic BONE weren’t proof enough, TUKI resoundingly restates his status as a master cartoonist of our era…New readers will love it, and fans of BONE will delight in Smith’s return to fantasy adventure with an ensemble of idiosyncratic characters.” BOOKLIST *STARRED* REVIEW
“Fans of classic adventure will not be disappointed… Smith (BONE) goes prehistoric in this fabulously drawn anthropological fantasy.… the characters and scenery remain consistently stunning to gaze at, page after page.” PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
About TUKI: Set two million years ago, when multiple species of hominids existed at the same time, this hand-drawn story follows the misadventures of a small band of early humans who controlled fire in an epoch when gods and giants were real, and Fire was taboo.
About Jeff Smith: Jeff Smith is the writer & artist of comics and graphic novels like BONE, RASL, SHAZAM: The Monster Society of Evil, ROSE and Tall Tales. Both BONE and RASL were self-published and are New York Times Bestsellers. BONE launched the current YA Graphic Novel explosion via Scholastic Books’ Graphix imprint and has won 41 national and international awards including 10 Eisner Awards and 11 Harvey Awards and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. RASL won an Eisner for Best Graphic Novel. The webcomic version of TUKI won the National Cartoonists Award for Best Online Comic in 2014.

MUSIC AND COMICS COLLIDE WITH A 7 INCH VINYL RECORD AND MINI-COMIC BY MATTHEW ALLISON AND AARON CONLEY AND MUSIC BY JACK THE RADIO
RALEIGH, NC (January 27, 2023) – Jack the Radio releases the first song “Looking For More” from a special collaboration project with professional comic book artists Matt Allison (Cankor, Heavy Metal Magazine) and Aaron Conley (Sabertooth Swordsman, Rocket Raccoon, Bully Wars).
In 2020 Jack the Radio’s George Hage worked with Allison and Conley to create short comic book stories based on the band’s Creatures album, which featured the Jack the Radio character and was part of a 56-page anthology comic published by A Wave Blue World.
After years of planning the three have come together to team up on something unique. In addition to new songs from the band inspired by Allison’s Cankor comic and Conley’s Sabertooth Swordsman comic, which he co-created with Damon Gentry, you can expect to see the debut crossover of Allison and Conley’s characters in a short comic.
The two collaborated on the story with Conley doing pencil layouts and Allison doing ink and color. On top of that, the mini-comic folds out into a poster with Cankor, Sabertooth Swordsman, and Jack the Radio meeting in a whole new way.
The first song “Looking For More” is available on streaming services now.
The vinyl and mini-comic/poster, along with shirts, pins, stickers, and comics will be available for pre-order through the Crowdfundr platform starting Monday, January 30th, 2023.

Heroes is collecting non-perishable food and pet food items for the Second Harvest Food Bank this Holiday Season!
Help us support Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina and our hungry neighbors by making a donation? The process is fast, easy, and secure. We truly appreciate any support you can provide. It will benefit a great cause!
Did you know there are over 553,000 people in our region living at or below the poverty line? Over 182,000 are children at risk of going hungry every day. But each of us can make a difference with a simple donation today.
Funds are Second Harvest’s greatest need and a wonderful way to multiply your giving. In the big picture, they are able to provide 7 pounds of food into the community for every $1 donation! Funds help keep refrigerated trucks on the road allowing them to pick-up and distribute fresh produce, dairy and meats to over 800 partner agencies. The Food Bank can also purchase products by the pallet – securing much-needed items at great pricing. In short, funds result in critical and healthy foods reaching more people in need.
If you cannot make a donation at this point, help us reach our goal by sharing this page on Facebook and Twitter! Or, even better, send an e-mail to friends you think might be interested in contributing and include a link to our page!
Thanks so much for your generosity.  Together we can END Hunger!
