Hey guys, check out the fabulous talent of Kate Beaton and her webcomics. You’ll notice she does a lot of historical comics, all of which are hilarious. Here’s one of my favorites.

She also has a series of conversations with her younger self, and a lot of comics that just crack me up every time I look at them. Check it all out on her website.

Tomorrow, May 7th, we’ll be having SoCal writer/artist Omaha Perez in from 11-2 to sign copies of his new Graphic Novel HOLMES , published by AiT/Planet Lar.  Perez’s revamping of the classic character has led to rave reviews, like from Ain’t It Cool News: "Though Purists may scoff at a Sherlock Holmes more like Iggy Pop than than the classic sleuth.  I found myself laughing out loud at the mentally skewed adventures depicted in HOLMES."

Here’s a synopsis of the book:

"Omaha Perez’ vicious skewering of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic
literary creations is finally collected! This version of the Sherlock
Holmes mythos expands on Dr. Watson’s revelation that Holmes was a
narcotics addict. The World’s Greatest Detective is a maniac completely
out of his head on drugs at all times and Dr. Watson, his own personal
"Dr. Feelgood," isn’t much better off. Appearance meets reality as the duo
must cope with their handicaps while recovering composer Joseph Haydn’s
missing skull."

Come down and support a local creator!

All the Tokidoki Cactus Friends are back in stock!

Bastardino, shown here, is just one of the little cactus-suited dudes you can find at Meltdown now.  Guaranteed adorable.

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY is this Saturday. We’re sure looking forward to it and hope you are, too! Because we want everyone who comes in to be able to get some free reading, we’ve established some new ground rules this year:

1) Limit 2 free comics per person.

2) They cannot be two copies of the same book.

3) And unless you’re a kid, only 1 of them can be a kid’s book.

First 50 people to shout "I AM IRON MAN!!" will also get free Iron Man movie swag.

But the fun doesn’t stop with free comics and swag! We’ll also be having a SIDEWALK SALE of older comics and trades from our warehouse at discounts you won’t believe! Sidewalk trades will be 50% off cover , and sidewalk single issues will be $30.00 (plus the cost of the box) for an entire long box of books or $20.00 (plus the cost of the box) for an entire short box of books. Don’t quite want that many books? Then you can get them at 25 cents apiece or 25 comics for $4.99 .

IN ADDITION, all regular unmarked back issues inside the store will be 50% off , and back issue complete sets are 25% off .

Bust open those piggy banks, because that handful of loose change will get you oodles of comics at Meltdown this Saturday. See you then!
