GET WITH THE PLAN AT COMIC CON!

The book that just keeps chugging along is making a return visit to Comic Con this Thursday through Sunday!

Dan and Raf will have 50 copies of The Apocalypse Plan available for sale and signing, so get there early, okay? 84 pages of apocalyptic action, only $13 at the con. When these run out, we won't have any more available at the show. You've been warned! :)

Also, look for our newest collab, the Comic Con esclusive BOB HOWARD, PLUMBER OF THE UNKNOWN, limited to 100 signed and numbered copies for only $5 apiece. If Buster Keaton made a Cthulu movie, this would be the comic book adaptation of it!

See you at table 3100 in Artist Alley this Thursday!

HORRORBLES SIGNING THIS SATURDAY!


Tomorrow, Saturday, July 17th, Dan and Raf will be appearing at Horrorbles, The Monster Store, from 6 pm until 10 pm. We're very excited about this signing, for a number of reasons; first, the venue. Horrorbles is a great store for all your horror needs, posters, memorabilia, toys and models, films, collectibles, everything the horror fan can want. Second, the host. Owner John Aranza is an affable, very knowledgeable dude when it comes to the horror genre in all its iterations. When he offered up his space to us, we knew we had to have a signing there, simply because he offered! Third, the opportunity itself. Because Horrorbles doesn't carry very many comic books at all, we'll be pimping The Apocalypse Plan to a whole new audience, the horror fan, which is really where we want to be, firmly entrenched in the hearts and minds of fans of the genre, and not limiting ourselves, or our graphic novel, to the general comic book audience.

This is an awesome opportunity for us, and for you, too, TAP fan. We'll have original art from the book on display, and you might even be able to purchase a page or two. We'll also be presenting art from our next project, Bob Howard: Plumber of the Unknown. We'll have the time and space to talk to you about the graphic novel, how we got it made, our own views of the market and artform that is comic books, and whatever else you want to talk about!

We hope you can make it. Check out the artwork for the address and time, and we hope to see you there!

UPDATES

Wow, it's been a while! Sorry to take so long to post; I've been tres busy pimping out The Plan on our Facebook page (and if you're not a fan of The Plan, shame on you! Go to this page right now and 'like'. Go on, I'll wait...).  C2E2 went very well for the book. We got a lot of sales and great response, and have sold the book to a few very discriminating comic shops. Diamond, you'll recall, is not carrying TAP, so all of our sales are coming from Amazon and through the Transfuzion website. Not a ton of orders, but the book is print on demand, so we can keep it around for a good long while. The big news is the announcement of our first (but not last) signing, on Saturday, June 19th, at Atlas Comics, 4735 N. Cumberland, in Norridge, Illinois, from 3 pm until 5 pm. Their website is here. "Why," you're asking yourself, "only two hours, Unca Raffy?" Well, Junior, the reason is simple; we want to get as many people in in as short a time as possible, for optimum sale-ability. To drag a signing out for longer than two or three hours can spell death on the store, the creators, and the fans; everyone is tired by that point, or disillusioned, or worse. A shorter time means all of our fans, and our host, can spend time together and bond over how freaking cool our book is! TAP has received some really nice reviews of late, including this one from Mania. I didn't agree with everything the reviewer wrote, of course, only the good stuff. Still, check it out, there's a lot of love there!
If you or anyone you know thinks there's a store out there that would benefit from either copies of our book for sale to an otherwise unsuspecting public, and from a an in-store appearance by Dan and me, let me know, won't you? More to come, and soon...

THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT 'EXCLUSIVE'...

Many of you have written to me about purchasing an issue of TAP well before C2E2, enough so, that I decided to post this...

Friends, Dan and I truly appreciate your support, but we are selling TAP exclusively at C2E2 this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It wouldn't be fair to sell any copies before then. We are limited to 100 issues; that's all that we have on hand.

The book *will* be available for purchase after the con, via the Transfuzion website, and at whatever signings Dan and I attend, as well as, hopefully, discriminating comic shops everywhere. Please ask your local retailer to order copies.

Thanks very much, and we hope to see you at C2E2!

C U AT C2?

Hey, all you Apocalypse lovers: Dan and I will be selling and signing The Apocalypse Plan from Row E, Table 9 in Artist Alley at C2E2. We'll be sitting right next to Transfuzion publisher (and TF partner) Gary Reed, who'll be at Table 8. Hope to see you all there!
