Geek alert: Superstar artist Adam Hughes is paying a visit to Charlotte this weekend. He's swinging through town to sign copies of his new art book Cover Run, which collects some of the incredible covers he's drawn for DC Comics over the years.
The actual signing event is Saturday at Heroes Aren't Hard to Find, but he'll be at the shop tonight for a pre-signing reception. Visit the Heroes website for all the details.
In the meantime since I've been a fan of Hughes since his days on the Justice League here are a few of my favorite Hughes-crafted pieces. (Yeah, he likes drawing women.):
Looks like the comic shop has tons of stuff on sale and lots of giveaways. Starts today and runs through next Tuesday. Check their site for all the details: HeroesOnline.com.
Those animated maniacs in Dethklok play The Fillmore tonight (with Mastodon along for the ride). Here's just a taste of the insanity that lies ahead:
IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD: Be sure to visit the Elizabeth-area comic book shop Heroes Aren't Hard to Find this Saturday (Oct. 31), to check out its Halloween costume contest. The folks at Heroes will be photographing all participants (with said pics to be shown off later at the shop's Web site) and the winning costume will garner some comic-centric prizes. For more information, visit the store (located at 1957 E. 7th St.) or its Web site (www.heroesonline.com) or give them a call at 704-375-7462.
