SAT, 11/17 at THE GREAT ESCAPE CHARLOTTE AVE. 5400 Charlotte Ave. 9 a.m. - 9 p.m.

Our SENSATIONAL COMIC BOOK SALE begins when doors open at 9 a.m. (1 hour early) with a great selection of comic books marked down to $1 each (previously priced from $2.99-$9.99).

....................................
At 10 a.m. comic book writer/editor Jason Miller presents “CONSTRUCTING COMICS: HOW COMICS ARE MADE, FROM SENTENCE TO SMASH”- an engaging discussion about the history of comic books, how scripts get written, and how a comic book page is brought together in its many layers (script, roughs, pencils, ink, colors, balloons, etc.). Get a sense of how these comic strips and books are actually made! Following this program, Miller will sign free copies of his comic book “Intrinsic #1” for fans age 12 & up.

(Previously Gilchrist did the art work for the daily strip “Jim Henson’s Muppets”.) Following a workshop of free drawing lessons for aspiring comic artists (attendees should bring paper and pencils), Gilchrist will do a question-and-answer segment. This is a highly entertaining program and we strongly recommend that you attend- whether you’re interested in learning to draw comics or not.

Plus, additional gift certificates of varying amounts will be awarded in drawings that will be held hourly throughout the day.
