Hey folks! Here’s what’s shipping this week to The Beguiling on Wednesday, July 25th.

Oo, and also interesting? Warren Ellis’ new novel Crooked Little Vein is released tomorrow, and we’ll have copies (and hopefully enough to last through the weekend). This one isn’t shipping to comic stores for at least another week and was probably drastically underordered by most bookstores, so be sure to come by and pick up a copy for yourself… SOON!

Shipping July 25th, 2007

STEPHEN COLBERT’S TEK JANSEN IN ALPHA-SQUAD 7 #1
CREATOR SIGNING FEATURING ISSUE #1 ARTIST SCOTT CHANTLER
Wednesday, July 11th from 5pm-7pm
The Beguiling, 601 Markham Street
FREE

Come one, come all, to The Beguiling Books & Art this Wednesday for a signing with Scott Chantler, illustrator of the new comic based on The Comedy Network’s THE COLBERT REPORT, STEPHEN COLBER’S TEK JANSEN IN ALPHA SQUAD 7. Based on the fictional novel (as in not a real novel, not just, you know, “of fiction” in the way of novels) by Stephen Colbert on the show, TEK JANSEN features Colbert’s two-fisted sci-fi alter-ego plowing his way through alien menaces with lasers, all the while an attractive bevvy of alien hotties waits at his side. Tongue-in-cheek? Hell yes, but then that’s what fans of The Colbert Report have come to love…

TEK JANSEN #1 features top-notch art by Canada’s own Scott Chantler, and to celebrate, the artist will be signing copies of the book at The Beguiling and even selling original art from the series featuring Tek and the whole alien crew.

This is a last-minute signing because we wanted to make sure that the book would be in stores FOR SURE this Wednesday, and it will! Anything you can do to help us spread the word would be appreciated. Include in your listings! Tell your friends! And limit one copy per customer…

This signing is graciously sponsored by the fine folks at Oni Press.

– Chris @ The Beguiling

The full list is below, but we did want to point out that we got BUDDHA VOL 7 in stock after an unfortunate mishap, and books like the EXALTED trade paperback, Gabrielle Bell’s LUCKY Vol 2 #1, douglas Wolk’s new book about the comics industry READING COMICS, and much more. Make sure to come in this week, if for nothing else than our signing this Wednesday (read the previous post…).

For those of you that show up every Wednesday at The Beguiling to get your weekly comics fix: take the day off. Due to Canada Day and the U.S. Independence Day Holidays, new comics have been pushed back to Thursday, July 5th. We apologise for not letting you know about this sooner, but to be honest I just found out this morning… I really gotta pay attention to those shipping updates we get.

Since it’s sort of lame to just post a little paragraph bulletin, I thought that we’d do a once-in-a-year sorta thing and post the complete list of books scheduled to show up at our store Thursday. If we get enough interest maybe I’ll see about assigning it to Parrish to do every week or something. Let me know if you find it useful.

Shipping Thursday July 5th:

The Beguiling Presents: Comics Industry Night! Yep, the last Wednesday of every month The Beguiling sponsors a comics-creator get-together at The Victory Cafe, running from 7PM to 10PM. The Vic is at 581 Markham Street, a few doors south of The Beguiling.

This month, we’re pleased to welcome three great comics creators who will be giving short presentations from their work:

Ted May is stopping by on his way from the recent MoCCA festival, with fresh copies of his Injury Comics from Buenaventura Press, It Lives from Sparkplug Books, and his comic Neruda. More at http://buenaventurapress.com.

Mardou is also stopping by on her way back from MoCCA, and she’s got some pretty interesting looking comics, including Manhole, Washing Machine, and the Whores of Mensa Anthology. More at http://whoresofmensa.com.

And Last but not Least, Liana K and the creators of Toronto’s own Ed & Red’s Comic Strip #2 will be on hand with copies of their new issue for attendees, and to talk about their upcoming work. More at http://edthesock.com.

Hope to see you out tonight!

Just a quick note to all of our wonderful customers. We’re going to be closed on Monday, May 21st in observance of Victoria Day. We don’t normally close for “Holidays” but we voted and decided we all needed a day off. So! Please delay your travels until Tuesday, May 22nd at 11am when we’ll be open, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, thanks to our day of rest.

Featuring daily blog updates of the tour by the entire McCloud clan and a whirlwind of press coverage, the tour has been a phenomenal success.

Scott McCloud: Understanding, Reinventing, and Making Comics visual lecture presentation will be held Sunday, May 6th at The OISE Theatre, 252 Bloor St. West (at St. George Subway Station). The doors to the event will open at 7pm, with McCloud taking the stage roughly 30 minutes later.

Tickets are $10 per person, available in person at The Beguiling Books & Art, 601 Markham Street, Toronto. Tickets are available via phone at The Beguiling, 416-533-9168, Monday-Friday 11am-7pm.
