I’m happy to announce that my retail sponsor Yesteryear Comics has their next in-store signing scheduled for Sunday, April 9th, 2017. This signing will feature James Tynion IV (Batwoman, The Woods), and he’ll be in the store from 1pm to 4pm. I’ll be working this event and acting as a CGC Witness to verify signatures for anyone interested in submitting books for professional grading.
