May 2: Free Comic Book Day - Steve Conley, Thom Zahler, Sean Chen, and Matt Slay in MD





The Middle Age Comic Book #1 is here!

As I've mentioned, I've wanted to make The Middle Age available to read in comic book form for the longest time! The books arrived and they look great! These editions will be mailed to my Patreon backers at the $10 tier and above. Shipping is free to supporters in the US.

I'll be sending emails next week to backers to make sure I have your correct addresses. If you're coming to my Free Comic Book Day appearance in Maryland this weekend, let me know and I'll hand-deliver your copy!

And speaking of Free Comic Book Day...

On Saturday, May 2, many comic book shops will be giving away free comic books! The shops often make an event of it and have big sales and bring in guests. This Saturday, I'll be a guest of Cards, Comics & Collectibles in Reisterstown, Maryland. I'll be signing and sketching all day. I hope to see you there!

and from Thom's:

Saturday is Free Comic Book Day… or Giveaway Day or The Artist Formerly Known As Free Comic Day. It’s the day you can, or more aptly, SHOULD, get thyself to a comic book shopatorium and try out some comics. For free. And then buy something, because these people are running small businesses in a tenuous economy and you’re not a monster.

I’ll be at Cards, Comics and Collectibles in Reiserstown, Maryland. What time does it start? Who else will be there? Thom doesn’t read things! My friend just asked me to be there and that was all I needed to know. Check out the website for more information. Or find a shop by you. Or both!

I’ll be there selling books and doing sketches and being generally talkative and charming. Come on by.

I don’t have a book as part of the FCBD festivities this year. But Love and Capes was a frequent participant (four years, in fact) and did more to launch that book than anything else. And on Love and Capes’ twentieth anniversary I wanted to honor that so…

Reid Muoio's newest comics zines

Reid just sent me Boys (2023), Girls (2024), and Shell (2025), as pictured. He also sent extra copies for the Library of Congress and OSU's Billy Ireland Library (previous issues went to MSU when they still accepted donations).

As to price?  He responded, "i’d say “prices negotiable.”" Write to him at  muoior@gmail.com if you're interested. DC's punk ethos survives.

Tonight: Everything in Color with Stephanie Stalvey & Sarah McCammon!




Everything in Color with Stephanie Stalvey & Sarah McCammon!


ABOUT THE BOOK

"In her luminous debut, Stalvey meditates on her separation from fundamentalist Christianity and how she found love despite questioning her faith. " —Publishers Weekly, starred review

Interrogating her own upbringing in an evangelical community, Stephanie Stalvey weaves a story of faith, alienation, romance and acceptance, in this beautifully painted graphic memoir.

Stephanie grew up in an evangelical community where love and obedience were overlapping themes. In this world, sin was inevitable, her body was a temptation, and desire was dangerous. Her own thoughts could not be trusted, because she was only saved if she believed the "right things" about God.

But as she grew, built a life of her own, and fell in love with a young seminarian named James, the complexities of the human experience became impossible to ignore. Was God truly so exacting and judgmental? Could faith exist beyond these rigid borders? Could love be both passionate and pure? Her connection to James—honest, caring and sensual—became a safe place for her worldview to expand. And when their son was born, she understood love in a whole new way… suddenly, everything was sacred, everything was in color.

Through striking prose and beautiful mixed media illustrations, Stalvey takes us on an emotional journey of faith, romance, motherhood and loss. With tenderness and honesty, she unravels the fear and guilt woven into her past, reclaims her sense of self, and shows us how to embrace a love that is healing, transformative, and wholly one's own.
