ComicsPRO Sponsors Black Dossier American Tour with UK Artist Kevin O'Neill Lone Star Comics Stop At Wizard World
Exclusive signing engagements promote highly anticipated harcover
graphic novel from DC Comics.
Kevin O'Neill, artist of the anticipated original graphic novel LEAGUE OF
EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN: The Black Dossier will do an exclusive signing
tour covering nine comic specialty stores and one pop culture convention
over the course of eight days from November 14 through November 21. The
tour begins on the first day of release of LOEG: The Black Dossier in New
York City and ends eight days later in Las Vegas, Nevada.
At each signing along the tour, artist Kevin O'Neill will be hosted by
members of Comics Professional Retail Organization (ComicsPRO), the trade
group representing the interests of comic book specialty retailers. Some
participating stores are also holding benefits for the Comic Book legal
Defense Fund (CBLDF).
In addition to his work with writer Alan Moore on LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY
GENTLEMEN, Kevin O'Neill is also known as the co-creator of MARSHAL LAW
and NEMESIS the WARLOCK, and was among the first artists of the British
anthology 2000 AD.
"I'm looking forward to the first ComicsPRO signing tour launching LEAGUE
OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMAN: The Black Dossier," said O'Neill. "A book
fraught with as much difficulty for us as it is for Mina and Quartermain!
I believe readers will be startled by the Dossier's contents, the dramatic
shifts in character, period and geography. This has been a project unlike
any I've ever worked on in terms of scale and ambition. I also welcome the
support of the CBLDF."
"ComicsPRO members really are a League of Extraordinary Retailers, so
we're thrilled that an artist of Mr. O'Neill's caliber has agreed to kick
off the first official exclusive ComicsPRO signing tour," said ComicsPRO
President Joe Field, owner of Flying Colors Comics in Concord CA. "I know
our member-retailers are prepared to deliver a great time for everyone
involved in this tour."
