Who is Neal Adams? He's a towering figure in the world of comic book creation and art. Neal has had legendary runs on Batman, X-Men, Green Lantern-Green Arrow and Deadman. Adams rescued Batman from the campy nostalgia of the television show, and re-fitted him in his present incarnation as an "Avenger of the Night." When people say "modern Batman", they mean Neal Adams' Batman. His run on Batman led directly to the new, more realistic incarnation in "Batman Begins" movie, which featured the character he created - Ra's al Ghul. Adams continues to be a vital and prominent figure in the comics industry after decades of unparalleled work in his field.

WED, 3/5: Graphic Novel signing by Jason Neulander at Great Escape Charlotte Ave

Author/Producer/Director Jason Neulander will be appearing at The Great Escape Charlotte Avenue Superstore this Wednesday, March 5th from 4:30-6:00 p.m. to sign copies of both volumes of his "Intergalactic Nemesis" graphic novel: "Book One: Target Earth" and "Book 2: Robot Planet Rising".

"Intergalactic Nemesis" is both a "regular", printed graphic novel and a "live action" version that is currently touring the world in theatres (and had been previously seen on "The Conan O'Brien Show" in 2013).

"Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Star Wars" and pulp serials of the 1930s inspire this colorful adventure. The "live action" version consists of more than 1,250 original, hand-drawn comic book images that are projected onto a screen in a theatre, while three actors voice dozens of characters, while one Foley artist creates hundreds of live sound effects, and a pianist accents every move with an original score in this tale of a no-nonsense reporter and her cohorts struggling to save Earth from the threat of an alien invasion.

This special Graphic Novel signing takes place from 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. on WED, 3/5 at The Great Escape's Charlotte Avenue location only.
