Hub Comics

Friend of Hub Joe Quinones is all over the comics world lately. He's done covers for both DC and Marvel; and his Green Lantern work for last year's Wednesday's Comics is out now in hardcover.

Wednesday, June 16, Joe's art will grace the next one-shot in the Joker's Asylum series, focusing on Joker's moll, the fan-favorite Harley Quinn.

Joe will be in the shop from 7 to 9 p.m. signing, and -- if you're lucky -- sketching!

Saturday, June 5, artists Shelli Paroline and Stephanie Yue will be in-shop for an all-ages signing!

Shelli will be signing copies of BOOM Studios' Muppet Snow White, which she draws, as well as other Muppet books where she has contributed covers. The four-issue limited series retells the Snow White story with the familiar Muppet characters and personality.

Shelli is one of the leading forces behind the Boston Comics Roundtable and has published several pieces in their various anthologies.

Artist Stephanie Yue will be signing the new childrens' book Guinea PI-G, Pet Store Private Eye, which she created with author Colleen Venable.

The publisher describes the book thusly:

There's a sandwich thief in Mr. Venezi's pet shop, and everyone is a suspect, from the chinchillas to the goldfish. Never fear! The world's fluffiest detective on the case: Sasspants, PI(G). By day, Sasspants is your average book-loving, gizmo-inventing guinea pig. By night she solves pet shop mysteries with the help of her sidekick, Hamisher the hamster. Our furry little heroes will stop at nothing to find the sandwich thief! This is the first book in the Guinea PIG, Pet Shop Private Eye series.

Come by the shop to meet these two great creators!

Sunday May 30 through Wednesday, June 2*, we'll be commemorating Memorial Day with a big back-issue sale.

Our back-issue boxes are crammed to the gills, and we have a lot more in storage to bring in, so we're blowing them out.

All back issues (except wall books) are 50% off.

Dollar-box comics are 50 cents each. That means half off our usual deals as well: 12 for $5, 30 for $10 and more than 50 are now only a quarter a piece!

We have a bunch of new early '00s comics in the back, as well, for half cover.

And as long as you're here, pick up some toys (please!) for 25% off.

See you soon!

*Remember that New Comics Day is Thursday this week because of the holiday.
