Join us Election Day, 11/3 from 11am-5pm, for a special visit from TOM KING (recent writer of Batman, current writer of Strange Adventures and soon to be writer of the highly anticipated Batman/Catwoman coming soon from DC.)

Tom will gladly sign any item for free when you let him know that you voted. (Additional signings will be at a nominal fee.)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Tom King, renowned writer of the eternally popular and top selling Batman comic book series from DC Entertainment, as well as the quirky and eccentric fan favorites Mr. Miracle and Marvel's The Vision, will be appearing at Fat Jack's Comicrypt Thursday, Sept. 27 from 3:30 to 6:30 pm to sign the highly anticipated upcoming release of Heroes in Crisis #1 from DC Comics.  

This new series involves nearly every character of the DC Universe. "How does a superhero handle PTSD? Welcome to Sanctuary, an ultra-secret hospital for superheroes who've been traumatized by crime-fighting and cosmic combat. But something goes inexplicably wrong when many patients wind up dead."

In addition to the above, Mr. King wrote one of the most memorable Superman stories of all time in Action Comics #1000 - the landmark issue of the longest running superhero title of all time.  Fat Jack's will have all covers on hand for sale in addition to being well stocked on Batman and other best-selling collections penned by Mr. King.   

"We've been very fortunate at the store, as we've hosted many great creators over the years for signings including Neil Gaiman, Alex Ross, Neal Adams, Bill Willingham, Charles Soule and many more.  One of the first creators who signed at Fat Jack's was the late, great Marshall Rogers.  We are honored to have someone of Tom King's stature at our store to meet our loyal fans."  Mike Ferrero - Owner Fat Jack's Comicrypt.

To meet Mr. King, and to have your comics signed, a purchase of Heroes in Crisis is required at Fat Jack's. MSRP is only $3.99.  These can be purchased in advance of the signing.

All comics and graphic novels purchased at Fat Jack's will be signed free.  Any titles not purchased at Fat Jack's will be limited to the first two copies free and a nominal fee for additional copies signed.

And what would a Crisis be without a death?  How about select pages of original art from one of the first and greatest deaths of all time?!?!?!?!  The death of Barry Allen-The Flash!  As a special treat for fans, for the first time ever, select pages from Crisis On Infinite Earths #8 original art by George Perez and Jerry Ordway (written by Marv Wolfman) will be on display during Mr. King's signing.  These pages have never been seen in the public eye, and Fat Jack's will be displaying the original art for the first time ever to the world.  Our thanks to a long time customer for the loan of this beautiful artwork.
