"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.
