Strange Adventures Comic Shop in Halifax, NS has always been a great supporter of my work, and of indy comics in general. Voted "Best comic shop in the world" by Previews magazine, past winner of a Shuster award for Outstanding Canadian Comic Retailer, and the only (as far as I know) comic shop to actually be drawn into a Superman comic, I've been a fan and customer of the shop for about ten years. They've hosted the best signings, sponsored some of the best events and always provided the best value for my comic dollar. I'm proud as a whole pride of lions to be able to say that our book, "The Brutal Blade of Bruno the Bandit" will now be gracing their shelves. If you're in the Halifax area, be sure to drop in and ask for it by name! Oh, and be prepared to spend some time...the shop is the real world equivalent of an internet attention hole, and it's quite easy to spend an afternoon and your life savings.
Just to show you how much a fan I am of the shop, here's a short piece I did as a submission for the SPX anthology a few years ago, a little profile of shop owner Calum Johnson, titled Local Hero. It's in .cbr format, so you'll need CDisplay or some similar reader to view it. Enjoy!
