Unfortunately the signing with Brian Bendis and I at Lee's this weekend
is canceled.
Mostly, this is because the airline cannot assure us that our
connecting flights will actually connect on time. If one of the flights is
a half hour late, We'll miss the next flight, therefore missing the entire
signing event, and also being stuck in St. Louis for an unknown ammount of
time.
Both Lee and I have spent hours on the phone trying to reach airline
attendants about a solution to this (as in transferring us to a DIRECT
flight) but this has been unsuccesful.
I feel really bad for Lee because he invested thousands into
advertizing our signing there. He really takes care of his customers. He
even printed 1000 copies of a KABUKI print just for this show. He was
going to give it away free to the first 500 customers that show up for the
signing. The print is a brand new Scarab painting that I did just for this
event.
Lee said that he is still going to give the print away free to everyone
who shows up to his store this Saturday. So I urge everyone who was going
to attend, to go to LEE's COMICS this SATURDAY and pick up a print of my
new SCARAB painting.
This artwork has never appeared anywhere else, and LEE's is the only
place you can get it. And it is FREE. But it is FREE this SATURDAY only.
After this Saturday he is going to be selling it for $20 each to try
to recoup some of his advertizing and printing investment.
Hopefully we can reschedule a signing at LEE's sometime in the future.
If so, bring the print to me then, or at the WonderCon or any other con,
and I will be happy to sign it for you.
Kindest regards,
David Mack
