HEADS UP! No Manga May 24-26 ! Back issue basement is open (buuut)

Yup, it’s just what it says, all of our manga is offsite with us at another exciting year at ANIME NORTH! As such, we won’t have any of our manga available for purchase at the store this weekend but we will have TONS at Anime North so come see us there!

As well, we took all of the tables from our back issue basement to use at the convention, so while our basement is open it’s a little bit worse for wear. We apologize for the mess but it was either close it down or have it operate a little messily so we opted for the latter!

Thanks for all your understanding! May is bananas around here and we appreciate you rolling with it, with us!

FRI JUNE 14: NICK MAANDAG “THE FOLLIES OF RICHARD WADSWORTH” LAUNCH!

On Friday, June 14th at 7pm join Nick Maandag at The Beguiling (319 College St) for the launch of his debut book The Follies of Richard Wadsworth! “Maandag showcases his excellent deadpan, cringe-inducing humor in this hilariously unsettling collection of three short stories…This painfully funny book will resonate with anyone coping with arbitrary, pompous authority figures.” –– Publishers Weekly.

The evening will begin with a conversation between Nick and Chester Brown (Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus), followed by a signing!

It’s going to be great!! See you there!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Nick Maandag was born in Mississauga, Ontario in 1982. He studied philosophy at Erindale College before moving to Toronto in 2006. His previous comics include Streakers, The Libertarian, and Facility Integrity. He has received nominations for both the Doug Wright and Joe Shuster awards.
