Kramers Ergot National Book Tour Comes to Pittsbutgh

This event has come and gone. It was a swellegant affair enjoyed by all. Thanks to all who made it happen: first and foremost, all the featured guests listed below (especially Sammy "The Leader™" Harkham); Kramers publisher Alvin Buenaventura and his able assistant Janelle Hessig; Eric and Rene and the rest of the staff at The BrilloBox; and a special thanks to Dan Allen and Andrew Paul for volunteering to help out and ensure that the event ran smoothly.

The Copacetic Comics Company is pleased as punch to announce that we are sponsoring the Kramers Ergot 7 national book tour here in Pittsburgh. Confirmed Guests include Kramers Ergot editor and contributor, Sammy Harkham as well as Kevin Huizenga, John Pham, Ron Regé, Jr., Matthew Thurber and Pittsburgh's own Frank Santoro. We also plan to have on hand a contigent of local talent including Chris Cornwell, Erin Griffin, Jim Rugg and Tom Scioli as well as local publishers Unicorn Mountain and Encyclopedia Destructica. And you will have a chance to purchase a copy of Mike Budai's swellegant, hand-silk-screened print celebrating this event (proceeds to benefit Unicorn Mountain).

Kramers Ergot 7 is, without a doubt, one of the most spectacular works of comics ever published. Measuring a staggering 16" x 21", and containing all new, never before seen work that was commisioned specifically for this giant-size format, we will see today's top comic creators pulling out the stops for this rare chance to produce comics work on this scale.

A mere 200 copies of KE7 are being advance shipped for this tour. Each will come with an exclusive print by Sammy Harkham that will only be available with those copies of the book purchased on the eight city tour (or directly from Buenaventura Press). We have been allotted only 20 copies, so we encourage you to reserve a copy now.

A book this big and this beautiful does not come cheap, however, and we know not everyone will be able to afford the $125.00 retail price. We are offering a 10% discount (which works out to $112.50) on all copies that are pre-paid by Sunday, November 30, 2008. We encourage anyone who is sure they want a copy to take advantage of this offer, as doing so will guarantee you a copy at the event (and, of course, this would also ensure that you get a copy even if, perish the thought, you were unable to attend the event).

Plenty of other related comics by Kramers contributors will be on sale, as well as new self-published local comics, at far more modest prices (including many for as little as $1 - $5), so rest assured that people of all means will be able to participate in this event.
