TUE, 6/6: Meet and Greet with Colin Cantwell, creator of the Death Star @ TGE Charlotte Ave.

May 31, 2017

NEWS RELEASE

In continuing The Great Escape’s 40th anniversary celebration, we are excited to announce an in-store appearance by the creator of the Death Star, featured in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, Colin Cantwell!

Cantwell will be appearing in the special events room at our Charlotte Avenue Superstore location on Tuesday, June 6th, from 6 p.m. – 8. p.m. to present video clips about his career and his creation of the Death Star. He will also take part in a small Question and Answer session and then a Meet and Greet with the fans where he will sign autographs.

Along with the Death Star, he also designed the X-Wing, TIE Fighter, and the original Millennium Falcon for the first Star Wars movie. He also built these models using model kit parts, which was a groundbreaking technique at the time.

He was also involved in 2001: A Space Odyssey as the designer for the space scenes and suggesting the theme song for the film, “Also sprach Zarathustra.” He also worked on the films Close Encounters of the Third Kind, War Games, Buck Rogers, and Around the World in 80 Days.

Cantwell’s accomplishments aren’t just working on films, however, as he also helped design the first OmniMax theater in San Diego, and he also helped develop the first multi-color computer monitor for Hewlett-Packard.

During the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20th, 1969, he functioned as the “Hal 9000” computer that gave Walter Cronkite the flight progress as he was broadcasting live on national television.

He has also written a two book series, CoreFires 1 and CoreFires 2. These are, naturally, science fiction adventures that are set in outer space.

Cantwell will be bringing copies of his book, CoreFires, to sell. He will also have for sale prints of the pencil sketches showing the original concept designs that he presented to George Lucas. An autograph will be included with the purchase of any of his material.

In celebration of our 40th anniversary, all Star Wars merchandise in the store will be 40% off for the entire day! It doesn’t matter what the item is: comics, toys, magazines, shirts, posters, etc. (if it is Star Wars related in any way it will be 40% off).

We hope you join us for this special evening and welcome Colin Cantwell from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 6th, at our Charlotte Avenue Superstore location. Admission is free, but seating will be limited.

Free Comic Book Day Weekend & 40% Off Back Issue Comics: SAT, 5/6 - SUN, 5/7

Hey, comic fans-

Free Comic Book Day 2017 is almost upon us, and naturally we want you to join us for our 2-day celebration! This event will be taking place at all locations of The Great Escape where you can pick up 5 free comic books* per person per day.

Because we didn't want people waiting in line to choose their free comic books, we tried something new last year that we feel was very successful. All of our free comic books will be laid out for you to peruse in an open space, therefore no more waiting in a line to choose which ones you want. We will have so many free comic books that you just may have a hard time making up your mind!

All of our locations will have over 100 titles to choose from, including- but not limited to:

  • Betty & Veronica
  • Marvel’s Secret Empire
  • Star Trek
  • Doctor Who
  • Rick & Morty
  • Wonder Woman
  • Zelda
  • Simpsons
  • & more!

If you join us for both days of this event, you could get a total of 10 free comics! Want to leave with more than 10 free comics? Well, if you were to come in costume you would receive 1 additional free comic, and for every $10 you spend on merchandise you can get another free comic. (Just keep your receipt after checking out and show it to our staff in our free comic books area to get your additional free comics.)

We are still not done, however, as there will also be 40% OFF all BACK ISSUE COMIC BOOKS**! This sale includes all regular Back Issue Comic Books, Used Graphic Novels, Trade Paperbacks, Hardcovers, Sale Comics & Grab Bags. That's an additional 15% off our everyday low price of 25% off on these items!

And, we'll also be taking 20% OFF all COMIC BOOK SUPPLIES, which includes bags, boards, boxes, dividers, etc.

And for you Bowling Green comics fans, here a way to get YET ONE MORE COMIC BOOK: bring in something that you've bought at The Great Escape and let us film you with it for possible use in a future commercial to be shown at one or both of the movie theaters in town! It doesn't matter what the item is, whether it is an LP, Video Game, or Back Issue Comic, bring the item in between the hours of 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturday and we’ll grab a picture!

We really hope you will join us this weekend for this 2-day celebration!
