Local Comic Shop Day, this Saturday, Nov. 23rd!

Hello, friends of Time Warp! This Saturday, November 23rd, is Local Comic Shop Day, an annual celebration of stores like ours! This means you have a chance to get some exclusive comics made specially for the day! You can check out the full list of 2019’s special comics here, on the Local Comic Shop Day website.

Local Comic Shop Day is largely a first-come-first served affair with these exclusives; however, some of these items were produced in extremely limited quantities, and we want to give a fair chance for everyone. We are holding a raffle to see who will be able to purchase these particular LCSD items:

LCSD 2019 ABSOLUTE CARNAGE #5 (OF 5) VIRGIN VARIANT – We have 1 of 600 copies!

LCSD 2019 LEGION OF SUPER HEROES #1 – We have 1 of 600 copies!

LCSD 2019 NEW MUTANTS #1 ARTIST VARIANT – We have 2 of 1000 copies!

For every $10 you spend on Saturday, you will receive a raffle ticket that you can use on one of these three exclusives! If you’re the winner at the end of the day, we’ll let you know and put the comic on hold for you to purchase.

We will also have a selection of exclusives from prior LCSDs to check out as well!

We hope to see you there, and good luck with your raffle tickets!

Halloween Comic Fest 2019, Saturday, October 26th!

Happy Halloween, Time Warpers!

Get your most ghoulish attire on and come on down to the store this Saturday, October 26th! All day we’ll have a selection of spooky, free comics for readers of all ages, plus you can purchase some exclusive Godzilla Vinimates made special for HCF! Come have fun with us and test out that costume before the big day.

For more information about the comics available, check out the list on the Halloween Comic Fest website: https://www.halloweencomicfest.com/catalog

We hope to see you all there, unless you have an elaborate Invisible Man costume planned, in which case we assume it will work out the way you planned.

Steven T. Seagle (Ben 10, Big Hero 6) Signing!

Surprise, Time Warp faithful! Here’s another great signing to look forward to.

On Wednesday, October 23rd, from 2 PM to 4 PM, we’ll be hosting STEVEN T. SEAGLE for a signing! He is best known as a member of Man of Action Studios as a co-creator of the hit animated series Ben 10, but he’s also written plenty of comic books, including the introduction of Big Hero 6, who Disney have adapted the team into film and TV. Between stints on Uncanny X-Men, Sandman Mystery Theater, as well as writing the Eisner-award winning It’s A Bird, and the Eisner-nominated Kafka, Steven T Seagle has created work for readers young and old, and of all tastes. His Wikipedia page is a helpful guide for seeing all the work he’s done over the years, and there’s lots of it!

We hope to see you all there! Feel free to say hello and get some books or perhaps some DVDs from your collection signed. You can RSVP to the Facebook event here.
