Edwin and Zub are flying in to Boston this afternoon as part of a day and a half event being organized by retailer Larry\’s Wonderful World of Comics for the Woborn Warehouse comic show.

Larry\’s Comics sells a series of exclusive comic variant covers promoting titles he feels are hot or up-and-coming for the comic industry. Soon after Skullkickers #1 came out he contacted Image about getting a variant produced for his store. Usually the variants are just line art or recoloured versions of the regular issue\’s cover but we wanted to make sure SK stood out, so Edwin and colorist Espen Grundetjern put together this eye-catching new cover piece:

SK #1 Retailer Variant (limited to 1000 copies)

If you live in the Boston area we\’d be thrilled to meet you at the show! Besides signing autographs and chatting it up with comic fans, we\’ll be looking for a piece of pin-up art featuring the Skullkickers to spotlight in issue 5 (arriving in stores late January).

It should be a really fun weekend.

The Skullkickers New England signing gets even better as Larry\’s Wonderful World of Comics announces that Skullkickers artist Edwin Huang will also be on hand for the event this December 18th!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
SKULLKICKERS CREATOR WANTS YOU TO KICK SKULL WITH HIM!

Red-hot Image comics\’ Skullkickers creator Jim Zubkavich will be the special guest at this month\’s Woburn Comic Book show, and he\’s looking for artwork from a New England fan to publish in his book!

Zubkavich will be the guest on Saturday, December 18th, from 10 am to 2 pm at the Best Western Hotel in Woburn. Admission to the show is free! The show is sponsored by Larry\’s Wonderful World of Comics in Lowell and features dozens of local comic book dealers and distributors.

Besides signing autographs and chatting it up with fellow comic fans, Zubkavich is going to be looking for a piece of pin-up art featuring his characters to spotlight in issue 5 of his ongoing Image comic.

So, would-be artists, this is your chance at the big time. Bring along your artwork for Zubkavich to pore over, and if your offering kicks skulls, you could see your piece making it into the pages of one of the hottest titles on the comic racks these days!

Skullkickers has been described by some as the Hangover meets Dungeons & Dragons, and has already met with critical praise, selling out its first issue with ease.

For directions to the show:
