ZAPP COMIC CON 2!
2018-03-31 09:00 - 19:00 UTC | Wayne Fire Co. #1, 93 Parish Dr, Wayne, NJ, 07470, United States
The 2018 Comic Book Convention season has begun!

In truth, it began earlier this month with my appearance at Toronto’s Toronto Comic Con. Unfortunately, with my busy work and teaching schedule, I didn’t have the opportunity to post that one here on my Events page, but hopefully you saw it on other avenues of my social media. This time, though, I am posting about my next appearance on my convention world tour… ZAPP COMIC CON 2!
Hosted by Zapp Comics, one of the best comic shops in northern New Jersey, this is the second year for this event. App Comic Con will be a one day show on March 31st at the Wayne Fire Co #1 in Wayne, NJ. The show runs from 9am to 7pm so its a nice full day. I’ll be there of course with a lot of artwork from Archie, Pixie Trix, Animal Jam, and of course lots of Die Kitty Die pages. A few people have already reached out to me about pre-arranging for commissions that they’ll be picking up at the show. I’m still available for this but please act fast. As I type this, Zapp Comic Con 2 is less than a week away!
Not only will I be there, but a number of my very talented students from the Kubert School will also have tables there and be available for commissions. App has always been a big supporter of the School and has hosted a number of events featuring our students at their store in Wayne.
Don’t miss out, Folks! I hope to see you there!

A KITTY KITTY CHRISTMAS!

I know I said Fan Expo Vancouver was my last stop of the year, but I have ONE MORE in me! Next Saturday, December 16th, I’ll be at one of my favorite shops, the legendary EAST SIDE MAGS in beautiful Montclair, NJ. I’ll be there from 1pm thru 3 pm signing comics and drawing free sketches. Please come on by!
This week… just in time for my appearance at East Side Mags… the DIE KITTY DIE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL hits the stands. East Side Mags owner, Jeff Beck, tells me he’s going to have copies on hand so this is a great opportunity to pick up a copy and have it signed. Plus, Jeff is a HUGE Die Kitty Die supporter and is a retailer backer of our recent Die Kitty Die Hollywood Or Bust hardcovers. This means that East Side Mags will be getting TEN copies of the DKD HOB hardcover which I will personally be delivering on Saturday. These copies are each signed by both my Die Kitty Die co-creator Dan Parent and myself. Plus each one has a unique Kitty sketch inside drawn by me. Don’t miss out on these! Come on by on Saturday and say hi!
And this is it, Folks! This time I’m serious! This is really my last appearance anywhere this year! Don’t miss out! Come on by!

Die Kitty Die Summer Vacation Special!
2017-07-29 13:00 - 15:00 | DEWEY’S COMIC CITY, 13 Park Avenue, Madison, NJ, 07940, United States
San Diego Comic Con is now behind us… and thanks to everyone who came out to see us and try Die Kitty Die… but the 2017 Die Kitty Die Hollywood Or Bust World Tour just keeps on rolling!
Our next stop is Saturday July 29th at one of my all-time favorite comic shops, the great Dewey’s Comic City in beautiful Madison, NJ! I’ll be there with my Die Kitty Die partner, Dan Parent. We’ll be signing copies of our brand new, fresh off the presses, Die Kitty Die special, the Die Kitty Die Summer Vacation Special! Dewey’s proprietor and my long time pal, Dan Veltre, assures me Dewey’s will have plenty of copies of the Summer Vacation Special on hand. Make sure you don’t miss out. Come on by ! Dan and I will be there from 1pm to 3pm-ish signing comics and drawing sketches! We may even have a print or two on hand for sale.

With both of our busy schedules, store appearances can be tough to line up let alone lining up appearances that we can both be at together so please take advantage of this rare opportunity to see us both in the same place! If you’ve already picked up our Die Kitty Die books, this is a good chance to get them signed by the both of us. Plus, Dan’s new series for Archie Comics, Your Pal, Archie, arrives in comic shops this Wednesday! I’m sure Dewey’s will be carrying plenty of copies. This is a good chance to have yours signed by Dan himself!

I’m always happy to return to Dewey’s. It really is one of the best comic shops I’ve ever known… and I don’t just say that because Dan Veltre is a good friend and he’s been a huge supporter of my career since my earliest days. It really is a very nice, family-friendly shop with lots of everything!
One last thing… If you can’t make it to Dewey’s and you still want our Die Kitty Die Summer Vacation Special, please make sure your local comic shop orders it. Lately I’ve been on a personal crusade against consumer complacency! All too often since Dan and I launched Die Kitty Die, I keep hearing from fans, “My store didn’t get it.” Look, My Friends! In this day and age, where a lot of comic shops are ordering conservatively and tightly, you can’t take the chance that they will order everything that you want… especially a relatively new independent off-beat book like Die Kitty Die. It would be nice if shops everywhere ordered dozens of copies of Die Kitty Die for their shelves, but they don’t. Comic retailers need to be told in advance that their customers will buy this book. Call your local comic shops and make sure they order Die Kitty Die!
Okay! That’s my speech! Now I hope we’ll see lots of folks come out for the beach party on the 29th. Knowing Dewey’s the way I do, I know Dan is going to organize a blast! Don’t miss it!

Plus in addition to the free comics, Dan usually has lots of sales and other deals going on. Please check it out! As you can see from the pic above, Dan loves me!
This year, I’ll have TWO comic books as part of the Free Comic Book Day giveaway. First off, Die Kitty Die has a special exclusive story in Chapterhouse Publishing’s Captain Canuck Free Comic Book Day Special. This isn’t just a reprint of old stuff like many FCBD offerings. This is a completely new story written and drawn by my fellow Die Kitty Die colleague, Dan Parent and myself called “It’s My Beach Party And I’ll Die If I Want To!” Here ‘s a little preview:

In addition to this, I also have the Animal Jam Free Comic Book Day Special from Dynamite Comics available this Free Comic Book Day. This is a completely new book written and drawn by myself with beautiful colors by the talented Pete Pantazis. I’ve been talking about my Animal Jam gig a lot and this is a great prologue to the regular series which I’m also writing and drawing. If you’re not familiar with Animal Jam, this is a great starting point as I specifically wrote the story to introduce new readers to the exciting cool world of National Geographic’s incredible popular online game, Animal Jam. Please give it a shot. Here’s my cover to this issue:

Dynamite editor and my boss on the Animal Jam gig, Anthony Marques, will be on hand at Dewey’s on FCBD so its an opportunity to get your Animal Jam FCBD specials signed by both of us! As always, I urge you guys not to take any chances. Call your local retailers and ask them to carry these picks on Free Comic Book Day. Wherever you decide to go on FCBD, I’ll hope you’ll give them a shot. Hey! They’re FREE! How can you go wrong?

I usually get to Dewey’s at noon and I usually stay until 4 or 5-ish. Please come on by!

My beloved alma mater, the Kubert School, will be celebrating its incredible 40th Anniversary year at the NJ Comic Expo with a special panel event featuring many of our celebrated graduates from the past four decades. Please be sure not to miss this very special event.
