The Quarter Bin

ONI PRESS sent us a release promoting the May 8th appearance of Bryan Lee O’Malley and Hope Larson at Cosmic Monkey Comics in Portland, OR. Hit the jump for all the details on how to meet up with these very cool creators.

Cosmic Monkey Comics & Oni Press are pleased to host critically
acclaimed and award winning cartoonists Bryan Lee O’Malley & Hope Larson
at the Cosmic Monkey Comic shop on May 8th from 6pm – 8pm.

Hope Larson is an Eisner Award winning cartoonist, illustrator, and
lapsed printmaker. Her books include Oni Press‘s Gray Horses, AdHouse
Books‘ Salamander Dream, and Chiggers, coming in 2008 from Simon &
Schuster’s Atheneum Books. She likes cats, coffee and
minor power tools, but not all at the same time.

Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim series has taken the comics world
by storm, selected as “Indie Comic of the Year” by both Entertainment
Weekly and Wizard, and optioned as a major motion picture at
Universal. O’Malley’s accolades include winning the Doug Wright Ward for
Best Emerging Talent and the Joe Shuster Award for Outstanding Canadian
Cartoonist. He has been nominated for three Harvey Awards, two Eagle
Awards, and an Eisner Award for Best Writer/Artist-Humor and most
recently for the National Cartoonists Society’s Ruben Comic Book
Category Award.

This is a one night only event, May 8th from 6pm-8pm, exclusively at

My excuse is I live in Pennsylvania. Otherwise I wouldn’t miss out on this rare opportunity. Now that we’ve told you, you have no excuse. Go. NOW!
