A DANGEROUS MAN release party Sunday Sep 24th 2006!

A few words from Mr. Huston -


I write pulp. I write noir. Open one of my books and you'll see I'm not lying. I write about people killing each other and suffering or not suffering the consequences. I write about the halt and the lame and the addicted.

A new book being released is not just a good excuse to whore oneself, it’s also a great time for a party. And nothing says party like a comic book shop!
So let's do it, let’s party in a comic shop!
Just no wiping up your vomit with those vintage copies of “Archie”.

The A DANGEROUS MAN release party will be thus and so:
Date/Time: Sunday September, 24th at 6:30 pm
Location: The Secret Headquarters
Event Details: Beer, and a reading by the writer, followed by the sale of books and the signing of same, followed by a brief stroll to a nearby booze dispensary where one may imbibe without fear of ruining valuable back issues of “Skyscrapers of the Midwest”

Join us!

By the way - Chuck here is writing Marvel Comic's MOON KNIGHT. Issue number #5 is out now!

CRASH and BURN - the Art of JOHNNY RYAN

CRASH and BURN

The Art of JOHNNY RYAN
At Secret Headquarters
Friday September 15th, 2006
Secret Headquarters is pleased to announce our art opening with JOHNNY RYAN.

Johnny first developed his hilarious drawings in the self-published title Angry Youth Comix. Now published by Fantagraphics Books, Ryan’s AYC has become the international bastion of lowbrow humor cartooning. Ryan’s utterly unpretentious taboo-tackling is an infectious bombardment of political incorrectness.

Johnny's unmistakable and humorous drawings have appeared in MAD, LA Weekly, National Geographic Kids, Hustler, Vice Magazine, Cool & Strange Music, The Stranger, and elsewhere. His artwork appears in nearly every issue of Nickelodeon magazine, wherein he has also collaborated with acclaimed artist Dave Cooper under the pen name "Hector Mumbly". The two also collaborated on a "Wonder Woman vs. Super Girl" story for the DC Comics anthology Bizarro. Ryan has also collaborated with Peter Bagge in both AYC and Bagge's Hate Annual, in addition to penciling and inking two stories for his DC series Sweatshop. In addition Johnny has done work for clients such as Nobleworks greetings cards, Rhino Records, and FOX television.

Ryan’s work has earned multiple Ignatz, Harvey , and Eisner award nominations as well as a spot on Rolling Stone’s 2005 Hot List.

Johnny Ryan will attend the opening from 8pm to 10pm. Secret Headquarters will feature Ryan's one of a kind original works of art through October 15th, 2006.
