NEWS & EVENTS FOR THE WEEK OF 9/23/09

Ahoy! A big warm thank you goes out to Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson for coming to our humble little shop and gracing us with their presence for the release of Beasts of Burden #1 doing some fine sketches, signing and hanging out with us for the day. For those who came by, thanks for showing your support! If you missed them you can also catch them over at our friend's comic shop in Park Slope, Brooklyn - Bergen Street Comics. It's a really beautiful shop and they are all awesome and very friendly people so please give them your business if you find yourself in good ol' Brooklyn. They will be signing on Saturday, September 19th from 6PM - 9PM, very cool indeed.

Also, we extend a big apology to everyone for the lateness of our books this week. We know it was a big pain and unfortunately we were absolutely powerless except to yell and scream at one of the most poorly run companies I have ever dealt with. So, once again, thank you so much for your patience and returning to give us your business. It means a great deal to us and we sincerely mean it. Hopefully, something on this scale doesn't happen again.

One more little bit of news. If any of you are into tattoos, are friends Nick Caruso and Mike Bee have opened up a new shop right called Bound For Glory located at 644 Forest Avenue. They're great guys and they do some fantastic work so if that's your thing be sure to check them out.
