July 22: Meet Scott Braden - Author of Kent Menace at Beyond Comics


Store Signing

Frederick Location Only

Due to a delay in printing, the signing has been rescheduled for:

Saturday July 22nd!

11 AM - 4 PM


Meet and greet with 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 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!"





Find out about Braden's new venture, Brilliant Enterprise!


"Brilliant really began as a dream I had with my old friend, JEFF DILLON, in the form of Brilliant Entertainment. In fact, I published my original 16-page, 200-count preview edition under that banner. Well, then for two issues we were published by another company. But, for all the work I was doing creating and marketing the books, I was told they really weren't hitting the mark. I had a hard time believing that, so, with a very cool logo designed by the great Mark Wheatley, I decided that if I am going to work this hard at it, it is up to me to make it successful. Nobody else."

The latest webcomic from the WaPo's former Lily site

My curly hair didn't meet Korean beauty standards. So I shaved it off.

Some thought it was too extreme. But I found an unexpected freedom in letting my hair go.
