A couple books premiering at Smudge

Two books that will premiere at the Smudge Comics Arts Expo this weekend include Ben Hatke’s ‘The Return of Zita the Spacegirl’ (Ben will have a limited number of these advanced copies) and the 6x9 edition of Steve Conley’s ‘Bloop.’ The show on March 8 runs from noon to 6 p.m. at the Artisphere in Arlington, Va. (The Orange Line is a block away and there is validated parking at the Artisphere.)
