May 20: Creator Signing - Meet Scott Braden in Frederick
MAY 20, 2023 AT 11 AM – 4 PM
Creator Signing - Meet Scott Braden
Duration: 5 hr
Come meet local creator Scott Braden, author and creator of Kent Menace!
Kent Menace is a mysterious mariner, as well as a weird hero who radiates - and attracts - excitement, danger, and even a little bit of humor. Find out why Diamond Comics's Steve Geppi said Kent Menace "crackles with energy and overflows with possibility" and Valiant Comics's senior editor Lysa Hawkins said "...a little dash of pulp, a sprinkle of camp, Kent Menace is what happens if Doc Savage, Namor, and the Tick fused into one!"
