Happy Holidays

Chronicle Books made up a holiday poster and gift tags for Darth Vader and son that you can download from here. Meanwhile, yet another Kickstarter project to mention - this time an anthology that includes a ten page unpublished autobiographical story written specifically for this book about modern attitudes towards feminism, The Big Feminist BUT.

Okay, you can stop saving the date now...

...and start watching the movie, streaming now on itunes and Amazon. Meanwhile, if you're in Albuquerque, you can come get me to sign something at Astrozombies tomorrow, November 10. On Kickstarter, you have until later tonight to get my incentive drawing half-off for Mail order Ninja. And finally, you can try and get a free copy of Darth Vader and son on Goodreads, where the book is a Goodreads Choice Awards nominee.

Coming Soon...

Darth Vader Reads

This past Saturday was Star Wars Reads Day, and I signed at Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville, Illinois. The highlight was having the 501st Legion's Midwest Garrison show up, and watching Darth Vader read my book to the kids...

Why did the chicken cross the road?

My son Oscar gave me the punch-line, which you can hear on The Dinner Party, where I also talk about some sci-fi moments that have stuck with me over the years. Also, in preparation for my first visit to Star Wars Celebration, I drew a little comic for a starwars.com guest blog post. If you're going to be at Celebration on Saturday,August 25, come see my panel (along with pop-up book artist Matthew Reinhart) at 11am, or stop by the Dark Horse booth for my signing at 4pm. I'll also be signing at the Barnes & Noble booth Sunday morning at 11am. Now back to drawing the last 113 pages of the second rough draft of my current project...

Save The Date for Save The Date

I just found out at San Diego Comic Con that Save The Date has a release date - November 16 will see a limited theatrical release for the film in New York and LA. It will also screen in Chicago and Austin after that, and IFC will have Video On Demand at some point too. Stay tuned to the Facebook page for updates. In the meantime, if you've got a record player you can listen to some of the music from the film on a 7" from The One AM Radio, which comes packaged with a booklet full of drawings from the movie as well.

San Diego Comic-Con

San Diego Comic-Con is this week and as usual I'll be spending most of my time signing at the Top Shelf booth (#1721). I'll have a small amount of artwork and hand-drawn trading cards for sale, and you'll be able to find more original art at the Scott Eder Gallery (booth #4515). On Friday I'll be doing a Star Wars panel along with pop-up book author Matthew Reinhart, and Saturday morning I'll be doing a panel for Save The Date. Alison Brie, Lizzy Caplan and Martin Starr will be at the panel, and you'll be able to pick up a copy of my "Save The Movie" minicomic as well (you can also check the Top Shelf booth for the mini while supplies last).
