The release party, which attracted some 60 people and sold out of books, was just the beginning of my appearances to promote The Apes of Wrath.
March 2-3, Austin STAPLE! The Independent Media Expo
I’ve had long relationship with the annual event of alternative comics, books, and other crafts. First as a journalist (“Staple!” and “Fresh From the Comix World“) and then a panel moderator. This year will be my first as an exhibitor. My sometimes co-writer (“Nameless Here For Evermore” for The Protectors super hero anthology), author of several magnificent books on pop culture, and writer of the Cars comic Alan J. Porter and I share a table, showcasing our wares.
Beyond getting your signed copy of The Apes of Wrath, you can hangout with with special comic (James O’Barr, Steve Niles, Berni Wrightson), indie gaming (Jason Morningstar, Jeff Dee, Marc Majcher), webTV (Danni Danger, Sara Reihani, Jessica Mills), animation (Dax Norman, Kyle Sullivan, Bill Byrne), and pop culture podcast (Geek Bombast, The League of Extremely Ordinary Gentlemen, The Random Access Web TV Podcast) guests.
On March 2, I’ll will sneak out from the con for a few hours to attend another Austin event.
The Apes of Wrath
Join Rick at a meet and greet for his new book The Apes of Wrath. From the jungles of Tarzan to outer space and beyond, the apes in these remarkable tales boldly go where humans dare not… intertwining beloved classics with inventive new writings.
I’ll be signing with Nathan Smith, author of Apocalypse: King of Eden, Book 1.
After the signing, I’ll return to STAPLE! I’ll be there all day Sunday.
Then on March 21 at 6:30, I’ll make a Houston appearance at the legendary Murder By the Book.
There’s more to come including California appearances in April. When that’s all finalized, I’ll pass along the details.
I look forward to seeing everyone at these events.
