Jim Starlin, Creator of Thanos, Appears for Signing and Screening 
While Thanos battles Captain American, Iron Man, Thor, and the rest of the Avengers for the fate of the universe in “Avengers: Endgame,” the famed creator of Thanos, Jim Starlin, will appear in the Buffalo area, courtesy of Sleeping Giant Collectibles, Ominous Press, and Creation.Ink, on Saturday, May 4. 

Legendary comics writer-artist Jim Starlin, who created Thanos, Drax, Gamora, the Infinity Gauntlet, and many more, will be doing a Free Comic Book Day signing on May 4 at the Tonawanda shared headquarters of Creation.Ink, Sleeping Giant Collectibles, and Ominous Press.

Starlin will also appear at a special screening of “Avengers: Endgame” at 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 4 at Buffalo’s historic North Park Theatre, 1428 Hertel Ave. Buffalo, NY 14216. Starlin will introduce the film, and hold a Q & A session after the screening. An exclusive Thanos poster featuring Jim Starlin’s art will be available at the screening. Starlin’s many comic credits include Batman, Warlock, Silver Surfer, Death of Captain Marvel, Dreadstar, Infinity Gauntlet, and his tales featuring Thanos, the Mad Titan. Much of the current Marvel Cinematic Universe is drawn from Starlin’s work. 

The FCBD signing will also feature renowned comic writer Ron Marz, whose credits include Silver Surfer, Green Lantern, Witchblade, and many more. Starlin helped launch Marz’s career, and now they will be paired for this special signing event. Other FCBD guests will be announced. Attendees can expect to receive free comic books as part of the festivities. 

“There’s literally no one we’d rather have as our guest on Free Comic Book Day than Jim Starlin, especially with a blockbuster like ‘Avengers: Endgame’ in theaters right now,” said Creation.Ink CEO Sean HusVar. “We expect to have a memorable day thanks to this rare opportunity to welcome one of the all-time legendary creators.” 


At the signing event, an autograph fee for Jim Starlin of $10 per item, and $20 per CGC item will apply. CGC witnessing for graded comics will be available on site, and a variety of signed and unsigned Starlin items will be available for purchase. Jim Starlin will not be available for commissions.

PORTLAND, OR., April 17, 2019 — The tale of Ghost Hog by Joey Weiser (Mermin), coming to bookstores May 7th, deftly navigates loss, vengeance, and acceptance.
​

Truff is the ghost of a young boar, fueled by fury towards the hunter who shot her down. She has a lot to learn about her new afterlife, and thankfully the forest spirits Claude and Stanley are there to guide her! However, they soon find that her parents, along with their fellow animal villagers, have been kidnapped by the malicious mountain demon Mava! Truff wants to help, but… the hunter is finally within her grasp, and if she lets him go, she may never get her revenge! Is vengeance all that being a ghost is good for? Or is there something stronger keeping this little pig tethered to the living world?

Advance praise for Ghost Hog
“Weiser’s graphic novel, with its lively artwork reminiscent of Sunday comic strips, renders the complex themes both entertaining and understandable.”  - Kirkus Reviews

“Ghost Hog is a powerful, high-adventure exploration of being haunted by the defining choices and mistakes we’ve made—and about forgiveness found in the gray areas of family, justice, and fairness. Like all of Weiser’s work, it’s brought to life by a fantastic, distinct, empathetic cast of characters.” - Nate Powell, Ignatz and Eisner Award-winning creator of Swallow Me Whole 

In December, Oni Press announced Ghost Hog as the 2019 Free Comic Book Day Silver Offering, which will feature two all-new stories about Truff, and is available at participating comic shops on May 5, 2019!

Joey Weiser will be in attendance at TCAF, May 11-12th. He will also be celebrating the release of the Ghost Hog original graphic novel with a signing at Avid Bookshop (493 Prince Ave, Athens, GA) on Saturday, May 18th, 6:30-7:30pm.
