JUNE 3RD, 2023 - (S)HE: A COSMIC HORROR RELEASE PARTY W/ RYAN GRULICH & ANDY MCDOWELL!
We are thrilled to host creators Ryan Grulich and Andy McDowell for the release of their new comic book (S)he!
(S)he is a modern take on cosmic horror drawing inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft's short story "He." Check out what Alan Moore (yes, THE Alan Moore) has to say about this comic:
"In (S)he, Ryan Grulich expertly reanimates Lovecraft's archaic and mesmeric voice, retooling it and bringing it to bear upon the tentacled corporate entities that lie in wait beyond the other rim of economics. Its sinister and antiquarian perspective on the modern world in which we live, love, die, and take in parcels for our neighbours is, appropriately, a disturbing revelation."
Come meet Ryan and Andy on Saturday, June 3rd from 2-4 PM!
