Drink n' Draw (Come get ridiculous with not so sober artists)

This Friday the 29th of August, from 7:30 until 10 we will be having a DRINK N' DRAW event here at Golden Apple. If you are confused as to what exactly a drink and draw event is, here's a quick explanation.... Artists (regular and the comic book variety) come here and do sketches of whatever you want them to, whilst being extremely (or maybe not so) drunk.

There will be a lot of artists here doing sketches and it isn't quite like a normal comic book signing in any respect. Usually you would have to buy a certain comic or bring in a specific item for them to sketch on. This one is totally up to you.

So come on in, stop on by, and join us for this 200 proof event. We hope to see you here.

If you have any questions or comments post them below and I'm sure we'd be happy to respond to them....

The Mark Millar & Tony Harris War Heroes signing a GREAT SUCCESS!!!

The Mark Millar & Tony Harris War Heroes signing was a great success. Thanks go out to all of the great customers and fans of the geniuses (Mark Millar, Tony Harris) that were signing.

If you didn't get to make it to the event you can check out pictures at our flickr page. Lots of people came out that night and Mark and Tony signed until the wee hours of the night (way past our bedtime). Old war movies were being projected onto the back of our store and the intense Crazy for Cult show was rocking next door.

Even the Nerdcore crew was down supporting the cause bringing down Karlie Montana in full War Hero gear (she looked awesome, pictures on the flickr). Tons of free schwag was given away, and if you were lucky enough to get here early you could have snagged a free gift bag.

Anyways, if you didn't get your War Heroes comic or you variant you can still stop in, we do have a few of each left. And thanks again for all your support.
