Daredevil #1 comes out February 6th! It’s being written by a certain wonderful man named CHIP ZDARSKY. How wonderful is Chip? Well, he decided ‘why not go to the Beguiling Books & Art (located at 319 College St) and sign copies of Daredevil #1 the day it comes out?’ So that’s exactly what he’s going to do!
Yes, Chip Zdarsky of SEX CRIMINALS, INVADERS, SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN and many, many more amazing comics will be here, signing for you!
More details TBA but it’s gonna be a blast!

We’re so excited about this one, we couldn’t wait any longer! We’ve gotta tell you now!
On Sunday, March 10 we’re beyond thrilled to announce that comics legend JAIME HERNANDEZ will be here to celebrate his new book IS THIS HOW YOU SEE ME? from Fantagraphics!
Jaime is the co-creator with his brothers Gilbert & Mario of the legendary LOVE & ROCKETS, one of the titles that has defined the purpose and voice of our shop since the earliest days, so it obviously means a lot to us to welcome Jaime to The Beguiling’s new location!
We’re announcing this one a little early so that if, for some reason, you have never read any of Jaime’s groundbreaking work you still have time to come to the shop and get started and see for yourself what the big deal is! Or: maybe you have, but you’ve fallen behind lately? Well, now you have time to discover that the stories collected in THE LOVE BUNGLERS (also available in Angels & Magpies) and IS THIS HOW YOU SEE ME? Represent not only some of the best comics of recent years, but also some of the finest of Hernandez’s career!
We’ll post more details closer to the event, including the event’s start time!
Don’t miss this rare chance to meet one of the greatest living cartoonists! We’ll see you there!
