A speaker at this farewell ceremony of this exhibit introduced me to a new word: upstander. People who resisted nazis and helped hide Jewish people and others during WWII were upstanders. An upstander is basically the opposite of bystander, we must all find ways to upstand to the horrors in America.

Friends!

This was very whacked out and fun!

EXCELLENT! Very positive, inspiring, informative, and funny!

New stock of Feeding Ghosts has arrived! Pulitzer Prize and Eisner Award winning memoir by Tessa Hulls!

IS TED OK? - the new comic by Dave Chisholm! The first issue comes out 2/25! We received this cool piece of original art by Dave Chisholm and we are raffling this off, you get entered into the raffle by signing up for IS TED OK? at Alternate Reality Comics (locals only)!

Be kind to this local artist! Actually, I did this yesterday, I haven’t done any art in a reallllllly long time, it felt good doing this. The idea of doing this as a ceiling piece was inspired by Lisa Dittrich, who did this on her ceiling at Sin City Comics back in the 1990s!

Today is Carla Speed McNeil’s birthday!

Did a little local artist rearranging, I just didn’t feel that where these were fit the flow of that section of the store, so now they’re at the front of the store!

You know all of the great Image Comics, Redcoat, Geiger, Hornsby & Halo, Rook Exodus, Hyde Street, and The Rocketfellers? Well a big part of how cool they are is due to their Ghost Machine imprint having Danielle as their sales & retail manager!

Happy New Comics Wednesday!
