Rom Spaceknight show in Portland tonight! (12/7)

[the hipoisie]

Edit: it's Thursday 12/6, not 12/7. The insane people at my job have my brain completely scrambled right now.

Quick heads up for Portland folks that there's a show opening tonight 12/6, 6-10pm) at Floating World Comics featuring lots of Rom Spaceknight art (including original stuff by Sal Buscema, I think). Deforgeo and I have stuff in it, and there's a lot of other cool art too. There are digital prints and originals for sale/donation. All proceeds go to Bill Mantlo, who wrote the Rom comics and was the victim of a hit and run in 1992; he's still in a nursing home and will probably be there for the rest of his life.

[danstiles]

I'm headed over there right now, I'll bring my camera and post some pix tomorrow.

[danstiles]

it was hard to get good pix, everything was hung overhead. It looks like there were about 100 prints, this is only a tiny fraction of what was there.

[deforgeo]

Sweet. Are they still gonna do an art book with all the pieces? I wanna see a full sized version of Buscema's, and Maureen Gubia's.

Lots of original art from this up on ebay, still to benefit Bill Mantlo:
