Andrew Cohen and Rebecca Goldfield signing stacks of copies of District Comics, assembly line style!

Big Planet Comics was excited to host a signing for the new District Comics: An Unconventional History of Washington D.C. anthology, a collection of true stories about the history of DC, from prior to the city’s founding through the inauguration of President Obama! The awesome local connection got ramped up with how many of the many contributors were DC area locals and natives, so we decided to invite them all to come for the book signing! We only got twelve or so to fit into the store, but it was a great crowd (and only mostly crowded!). All the writers and artists wandering the store, chatting to fans and each other, in a very casual but open environment.

The Washington City Paper ran a preview of the book along with two stories in their September 6 issue. You can still read the article and the two stories on their webpage.

District Comics creators who appeared at our store included:

Michael Brace
Andrew Cohen
Michael Cowgill
Matt Dembicki
Rebecca Goldfield
Mal Jones
Dale Rawlings
Kevin Rawlings
Mike Rhode
Rafer Roberts
Jason Rodriguez
Jacob Warrenfeltz
Tabitha Whissemore

Thanks to all of them for coming out, and to everyone who came to buy a copy! If you couldn’t make it, we have some signed copies at all our stores.

Here are some more pictures from the signing:

More mingling and browsing!

Contributor Mal Jones flips through a copy of District Comics

Gladstone and Donald have different methods of getting turkeys. Art by the inestimable Carl Barks, of course!

We are closed today for Thanksgiving but we will be open tomorrow at our regular hours.

We hope everyone enjoys the day off (we sure are!) and that you won a free turkey like Gladstone!

Big Planet Comics wouldn’t be what it is without all of your support, business, and friendship over the last 26 years. We really do appreciate it! Thanks everyone!

And see you all tomorrow when you need to get out of the house!

A Bride’s Story
By Kaoru Mori

Kaoru Mori’s Victorian romance, Emma, was justly acclaimed for historical accuracy, sumptuously detailed art, as well as patience and clarity in visual storytelling. With her new series, A Bride’s Story, Mori joins the ranks of the medium’s most accomplished creators with a narrative style that is uniquely her own. This time around, Ms. Mori’s pen brings nineteenth-century central Asia to life. The principal character is Amir, a twenty-year-old woman from a nomadic tribe who is given in an arranged marriage to twelve-year-old Karluk from a settled village.

Amir is easygoing and thoughtful, both necessary attributes as she adjusts to cultural differences and developing feelings for her new husband. She has many useful skills that help her begin to make a place for herself in her new environment. But, as Amir strives to find her place in the village, her birth family decides they could have made a more profitable arrangement for her. Now, they’d like her back, please.

There’s a reason that cartoonists and animators usually avoid the sort of painstaking detail Ms. Mori routinely displays. If you have to draw a costume or background thousands of times, it’s necessary to streamline it so that you don’t kill yourself in the effort. Mori was apparently born without that sense of self preservation, ’cause she dives into the historical and visual minutiae with evident glee. But, as a master storyteller, she never hits the reader over the head with her research. Instead she uses it to craft a palpable world that draws the reader irresistibly, in a tale that is spellbinding from the first page to the very last.

Raina pauses signing books to take a pic with some of her fans!

Big Planet Comics was honored to have acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Raina Telgemeier appear at two of our stores on Saturday, September 22! Raina has done minicomics and adapted the popular novel series The Babysitters Club into graphic novels, and even done an X-Men graphic novel. Her breakout was her own story Smile, a tale of her experiences as a kid when she knocked out her two front teeth! Smile recently hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list for graphic novels, and she just published her next book, a fictional story called Drama about a young girl named Callie. Callie is part of the crew for the drama club at her middle school and they are putting on a new play! Callie also has to deal with friends, new interesting boys, and in general, lots of drama! Although they are targeted at a middle school audience, they are great for all ages.

We also got to interview Raina right before her first signing for the Big Planet Comics podcast, check out our interview in Podcast 60! (Raina’s interview starts around 21:15)

Raina had a great turnout, as we expected! Lots of young fans and families, which is always great to see! She took the time to ask a lot of questions and snapped some of her own pictures with her fans! Then she put on a demonstration of her drawing technique, drawing a giant picture of Callie working on making the set for her next play, one that was set in a comic book store! Pictures are below.

We have signed copies of Drama, Smile, and all four Babysitters Club books if you weren’t able to make it. Thanks to everyone for coming in!

Raina put up a whole article about her entire weekend, since she was also a guest at the National Book Festival! Here are lots of cool pics and her thoughts on it all! http://goraina.com/?p=1371

Tiny Tyrant
By Lewis Trondheim and Fabrice Parme

King Ethelbert is the 6-year-old monarch of a tiny nation, who rules it pretty much the way you’d expect a kid would… according to whatever whim is currently flitting though his head. For example, when
Ethelbert is assigned a new bodyguard, he decides to test his mettle by putting a contract on himself to see how well the bodyguard responds! In another episode, Ethelbert wants a dinosaur named after him, so he coerces his scientists to create a new type of dinosaur and then… well, you really should read it yourself. They do the telling much better than I can. This collection of 12 short, interconnected stories will charm and delight readers. The art is drawn in a crisp, animated style with clean, vibrant color.

Mike Rex with his limited edition poster and his new book, Fangbone 3: The Birthday Party of Dread

Big Planet Comics was excited to have acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Mike Rex appear at two of our stores on Saturday, August 18! Mike Rex broke out with his kid’s illustrated books Goodnight Goon and the Runaway Mummy, but his new comic series Fangbone! Third Grade Barbarian is even better! The tale of a young barbarian warrior named Fangbone who is sent to Earth and accidentally gets enrolled in the third grade! Fangbone! is a great mix of action as he fights off evil monsters, and drama as he tries to integrate into an elementary school of normal children, with lots of laughs throughout! Great for all ages.

Mike was also nice enough to sit down to be interviewed by us for the Big Planet Comics podcast, check out our interview in Podcast 56! (Mike’s interview starts around 25:27)

We have signed copies of all three Fangbone books and his earlier kids books if you weren’t able to make it, and our Vienna store has a few Fangbone prints left (or you can order them in our online store)
