Dallas Comic Book Club

A little late on my notice this month – sorry, all. The next Comic Book Club is this Thursday, May 14, at 7:30 p.m. We will be meeting again at the large Half Price Books on Northwest Hwy (here is a link to the store information on the HFP site: http://www.halfpricebooks.com/001.html), and let’s plan to congregate at the benches just inside the entrance (the main entrance, not the one going directly into the coffee shop). It was a great place to meet last month, and there are a plethora of places for us to sit and gab in case the back room is being used.

This month we will be discussing the Tintin story Cigars of the Pharoah, a rollicking good adventure of everyone’s favorite Belgian boy reporter. It is by Hergé and available either as a thin stand-alone volume (in larger album format) or within the first volume of the hardback 3-in-1 editions (sandwiched between Tintin in America and The Blue Lotus).

We had a great time last month with a bunch of good suggestions for future titles to read. I have put together a few for the rest of the year. Let me know what you think!

June 11: Identity Crisis by Brad Meltzer and Rags Morales
July 9: Stuck Rubber Baby by Howard Cruse
August 13: Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes (Book 1) by Neil Gaiman, Sam Keith, Mike Dringenberg, and Malcolm Jones III
September 10: Bottomless Belly Button by Dash Shaw
October 8: Mystery Play by Grant Morrison and Jon J. Muth
November 12: Madman: Volume 1 by Mike Allred
December 10: Castle Waiting (Book 1) by Linda Medley

See you all on Thursday!
