ComicMix debuts exclusive graphic novels at Baltimore Comic-Con
Are you going to the Baltimore Comic-Con at the end of the month? So are we! And we’ve got something special for you.
In honor of the first anniversary of our announcement of our comics publishing program at last year’s show, we’re testing three graphic novel collections of recently completed stories from ComicMix. You’ll want to check these out:
EZ Street – The Harvey-nominated graphic novel by Robert Tinnell (Feast of Seven Fishes, Surf Nazis Must Die, Kids of the Round Table) and Baltimore’s own Mark Wheatley (Mars, Frankenstein Mobster, Hammer of the Gods, Breathtaker) is about two brothers, a story about the love of stories, about ambition and dreams and fantasy, EZ Street is an involving look at the creative process, the dynamic of families, the true meaning of friendship and the quest for a really good comic. Wheatley and Tinnell will be at the Insight Studios/ComicMix booth to sign copies.
GrimJack: The Manx Cat – Since its first appearance as a back-up in Starslayer in 1983, GrimJack has been a fan favorite. The stories blend genres – the hard-boiled detective stories of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammet get combined with the sword and sorcery of Robert E, Howard. In The Manx Cat, these elements combine in a story that tells the history of Cynosure and the stuff that dreams are made of. Timothy Truman will be on hand to sign copies.
Jon Sable Freelance: Ashes of Eden – The character of Jon Sable is so popular that he was the inspiration for the ABC network series, Sable, in 1987. In Ashes of Eden, Sable is hired by the head of an African diamond cartel to transport a magnificent raw diamond to an exhibit in New York. But his task is complicated by having to play escort, bodyguard and babysitter to the cartel’s corporate spokesperson, Bashira, a temperamental. In a story combining jewels, fashion, and a network of terrorists, Sable must also deal with enticements of Maggie the Cat. Colorist Glenn Hauman will be on hand to sign copies.
These collector’s items are limited to 100 copies and will be available for the first time at the ComicMix booth exclusively at Baltimore Comic-Con from Saturday, September 28 through Sunday, September 29. More information and tickets are available at http://www.baltimorecomiccon.com.
For your enjoyment, here are larger versions of the covers.
If these are ever available for purchase, I'll be picking up the EZ Street compilation. Loved the series. Congrats to all the creators, and ComicMix (of course).
The first lesson of sales is – never make people work for it. Here is the link to get a copy of your favorite ComicMix Graphic Novels:http://www.comicmix.com/contact/
Is the "contact us" sales for a non-limited edition or for one of the 100? If for one of the 100, would it just be for any left over from the convention?
I don't know – I just work here. Martha?
I believe that Baltimore gets first pick, but the rest will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. So, if you want one, you should contact us today.
What are these books going to sell for at the Baltimore Con? Has a price been set? Or, as limited editions, will the price fluctuate by how quickly they seem to be selling? Will it be whatever the traffic will allow?I will be interested in owning all three of these in dead tree form, but I doubt I'll be able to afford the limited edition pricing.
Really looking forward to owning all three of them !! Just hope you ship to the UK ?
Nice – are these going to be sold at Baltimore's "Show Exclusives" table, or at your own booth? If I can swing the expenses, I'll be coming down to the show again. Hope to see y'all there.
The article says "at the ComicMix booth exclusively at Baltimore Comic-Con"
I don't think we have a listing in the program under ComicMix so look for Mark Wheatley's table. That's where ComicMix will be set up.
Actually people should look for the extra large INSIGHT STUDIOS booth – and there will be a large ComicMIx sign and display.
Could y'all save me an EZ Street? Or don't columnists get special privileges here? :)
I just saw the list of panels for the convention. It appears there is no ComicMix panel this year. Will you all just be hanging around the Comic Mix sign at the Insight Booth all the time?
As the Booth Fairy, I will be there for huge bunches of time. The others will be there as they can. Unless we suddenly get organized and I write up a schedule. Ha!
I had a fun time at the convention Saturday. I won't be there today. I took a few pictures at the convention including 3 at the ComicMix/Insight booth. You can see those athttp://picasaweb.google.com/neil.ottenstein/20080…
