Come to Fantagraphics Bookstore this Saturday as we welcome Brian Ralph on a rare visit to the Northwest. He'll present his new book Reggie-12 with a slide show, signing and reception. In a preview of the event, Paul Constant of The Stranger writes, "It's not for kids, but it feels as fizzy as a Saturday morning cartoon, in the best way possible. If you were raised on Astro Boy or Godzilla movies, you'll love the fuck out of this book."

Brian will also sign copies of his alternative zombie adventure Daybreak, hailed by Entertainment Weekly as "A storytelling tour de force," and the wordless mystery Cave-In. Drop by and meet this wonderful artist Saturday, September 7 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Complimentary refreshments and great company provided. Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery is located at 1201 S. Vale Street in Seattle's colorful Georgetown arts community. Open daily 11:30 to 8:00 PM, Sundays until 5:00 PM. Phone 206.658.0110.
