Signs of the Times

Those of you who live in Los Angeles who are yearning for a signed copy of Kirby: King of Comics (signed by me, that is) have two opportunities in the next seven days…

This coming Saturday, I'll be scribbling my name in copies at Meltdown Comics, which is located at 7522 Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. I'll be there from 2 PM 'til 4 PM, assuming anyone shows up. At some point in there, there will be a Q-and-A hosted by Animation Producer/Director Jon Schnepp.

Then on Wednesday, June 11, I'll be out in Santa Monica at Hi-De-Ho Comics, which is at 525 Santa Monica Boulevard, near Lincoln. I can't find the piece of paper that tells me what time I'm supposed to show up but I think it's around Noon. No formal Q-and-A is planned but if you buy a book, I'll tell you darn near anything you want to know.

Hey, if you don't want my autograph, this might interest you. This Sunday, William Shatner will be signing his new book, Up Till Now, at the Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention, which is that one-day monthly con down at the Shrine Auditorium. Mr. Shatner, they say, will be there at 2 PM and will sign all copies purchased at the show…and nothing else. All proceeds will be donated to William Shatner's Hollywood Charity Horse Show. I might go down and get one if he promises not to sing "Rocket Man." If you come to either of my signings, rest assured I won't.
