Hub Comics

The next few months promise to be eventful for everyone here at Hub. Specifically, there may be some re-arranging of hours and days closed in August, as we may have some filming for an upcoming movie!

August 11, 2009: Tuesday night, we will be hosting our Marvel 70th Birthday Party event! Special variants of the new Marvel Comics #1 and The Marvels Project #1 will be on sale, and my personal holy grail copy of Captain America #1 (1941) will be on display, as well as other early Marvel rarities. Come on by!

August 28-30, 2009: The Vinal Avenue Community Growing Center, around the corner from the shop, will host the 4th annual Viva La Vinal Music Festival. This year, Hub is attempting to be involved. More to come!

Wednesday, September 23: Union Square's own big-time comic artist, Joe Quinones, has gained more visibility this summer as the artist on DC's Wednesday Comics Green Lantern page. The 12-issue series ends September 23, so Joe will be on-hand to sign issues of Wednesday Comics, or other work of his, such as his cover for Hack/Slash #12, pin-up in Madman #16 or even a copy of last year's Fluff Boy! comic.

Wednesday, September 30: King Cat creator John Porcellino will be in the shop with a comics presentation from 7-9 p.m., and will be signing copies of his new book "Map of My Heart," to be published Sept. 29 by Drawn and Quarterly. See a preview of the book here (pdf), from the D&Q site.

Saturday and Sunday, October 3 & 4: Hub Comics will host local artists for 24-Hour Comics Day! Sign up now if you'd like to come attempt to write and draw 24 pages of comics in 24 hours! E-mail us for more information.
