Comic-Con addenda: Natalia Hernandez! Peanuts! Tote bags!

Fantagraphics Books at Comic-Con International, San Diego, 07/24/08

We have a few extra tidbits to append to our Comic-Con announcement: once again we'll have the pleasure of welcoming the lovely and talented Natalia Hernandez as she debuts the eagerly-awaited third issue of her hit self-published minicomic The Adventures of Crystal Girl! It's a rollicking read for young and old alike. Natalia will be hanging out with her pop Gilbert & uncle Jaime during at least some of their scheduled signing times:

Thursday 2:00 – 4:00 PM
Friday 12:00 – 2:00 PM
Saturday 3:00 – 5:00 PM
Sunday 2:00 – 4:00 PM

We'll also once again be breaking out the silver Sharpies as a destination in the Peanuts scavenger hunt in association with the Schulz Museum booth (#1537) — stop by there to pick up your official game card and purchase some nifty exclusive Peanuts merch.

And finally, you couldn't turn around in the comics blogosphere last week without seeing hype for the promotional tote bags being given out by a major motion picture/television studio… I mean, really? Who wants those junky old things when you can get a beautiful, roomy, sturdy canvas Fantagraphics tote bag featuring the smiling mug of Daniel Clowes's über-nerd Dan Pussey for $14.95, or FREE with a purchase of $150 or more? You'll use it for years instead of hucking it in the back of your closet as soon as the Con is over. We'll have a very limited supply so don't delay in picking yours up.

It all happens at booth #1718! See you there!
