But the real reason I've asked you all here is to inform you...that George Perez was a great big smash hit! I mean, George has been a regular at our yearly convention since the very first one, back in 1982--when some of you had not yet been born, and the rest of you were in love with Duran Duran--but with the release of JLA/Avengers, this kid is white-hot!

Even with the light rain that fell most of the day, there was a line at the door as early as an hour before we opened the store. People may have been waiting even earlier, but we showed up at noon. I mean, c'mon: it was Sunday. So by the time George showed up at 1 and we let people in, he was instantly mobbed! Shelton even opened up his famous vaults and pulled out some of his Perez originals from over the last 20 years! All in all, things went great, people were happy, and everyone walked away friends. If you weren't there, well, whose fault was that?

And speaking of appearances, you must clear a nice space in your schedule for Mr George Perez' visit on October 26th. I'm sure you're familiar with Mr Perez, especially if you read my posting here earlier in the month. George will be signing copies of JLA/Avengers, the book that's been his dream for 20 years! Who better to celebrate this auspicious occasion with than you and I. So... I guess I'll see you there. I'll be wearing the white carnation!

Also coming soon: industry legend George Perez will be appearing in our store from 1 to 5 on Sunday, October 26th. I'm sure you're all familiar with Mr Perez's feats of derring-do, as are we--witness George's smiling face in the picture to the left: our first convention ever, back in 1982! Well, one of George's lesser-known accomplishments is a little thing called "JLA/Avengers"--whether you've heard of it or not, he'll be signing copies that Sunday, so don't miss it!
