Star Clipper in St. Louis is one of the finest comic shops in the country. Their Free Comic Book Day was an absolute madhouse. The good kind of madhouse. They had live music, huge stacks of free books, and as you can see, long lines of fans. Plus a bit of me in there somewhere. Helluva great day.

First I shaved this guy's head. Then I hit him in the face with a pie. Then I proceeded to win a poker tournament.

Now that's what I call a comic book signing.

Full report here.

Also, want to have brunch with me and support the Hero Initiative all in one fell swoop? Then go here.

I've added two big signings for September, both at stores I've been wanting to visit for quite some time.  On Sept. 11 I'll be signing at The Isotope in San Francisco and on Sept. 25 I'll be at the Atomic Comics Superstore in Mesa, Arizona. Hope to see you there.

Looks like I'll be headed to San Francisco in September to sign at Isotope. Dates and times to be announced. Never been to San Fran before. Am already excited.

Thanks to everybody who came out to Local Heroes in Norfolk last weekend. It was one of the best signings I've ever done, at one of the best stories I've ever been in. As you can see, it was crowded (that's me off to the left, stroking my beard). I signed a ton of books and talked to loads of fans, which is sincerely one of the best parts of my job. Thanks again.

My first signing of 2010 will be at Local Heroes in Norfolk, VA, and check out the sweet trade deal they have this month:

If you're in the area, I hope to see you there.

Headed to Orlando for another signing with my friends at A Comic Shop. Last time I was there, this happened:



God help us all this time.

Tomorrow. Columbus, Ohio. I want to deface your comic books with my sloppy handwriting.

More info.

At A Comic Shop on Wednesday. There'll be beer.

If you're in the vicinity of Iowa City tomorrow, Saturday, October 20, then you should come see me at Daydreams Comics, 21 S. Dubuque St. I'll be there from 2:00 pm until they turn out the lights.

Here's an interview I did with the Daily Iowan.

This Saturday at Atomic Comics in Oklahoma City they're holding their second ever sidewalk sale, with all sorts of toys, comics and books marked at special prices. In addition, there'll be door prizes, contests and the US Post Office will be on hand selling Marvel Comics stamps. Oh and I'll be there too, from 1:00 pm until they turn out the lights.
