Sat 3/22: Out of Alcatraz and into Flying Colors!

When: Saturday March 22 11AM-1PM
What: Signing for the first issue of OUT OF ALCATRAZ from ONI Press
Who: Author Christopher Cantwell and artist Tyler Crook
Where: Flying Colors Comics, 1170 Concord Ave (of course!)

Here's the set-up:

Born from one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the 20th century, this taut and breathtaking original limited series launches with a double-sized, 48-page debut from Eisner Award–nominated writer Christopher Cantwell (Plastic Man No More, Briar) and Eisner Award–nominated illustrator Tyler Crook (Harrow County, The Lonesome Hunters)!

Convicts Frank Morris and Clarence Anglin have washed ashore in San Francisco after surviving their infamous escape from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in June 1962. They soon meet their gruff and disappointed handler, a mysterious young woman who’s also running from something, and hope to quickly get their way north to the border—if they can even make it out of Modesto alive.

As a dogged federal manhunt and chance encounters threaten the desperate convicts, everyone involved is about to discover the same bloodstained truth: life on the run is an even more hellish prison than Alcatraz could have ever been!

Sat 4/5: Matt Mikalatos Debuts New Graphic Novel at Flying Colors

What: "God With Us" graphic novel signing and release event
Who: Best-selling author Matt Mikalatos
When: Saturday April 5 Noon-3PM
Where: Flying Colors Comics, 1170 Concord Ave Suite 140, Concord CA

Award-Winning Author Matt Mikalatos Explores 40 Beloved Stories in Scripture—from Creation and David and Goliath to the Resurrection—Through the Eyes of the Curious

WaterBrook is thrilled to introduce the captivating new graphic novel God With Us: Bible Stories on the Road to Emmaus (WaterBrook/Penguin Random House; release date 4/1/25) skillfully written by award-winning author Matt Mikalatos and wonderfully illustrated by David Shephard. 

Arriving a few weeks before Easter, God with Us will help readers young and old follow God’s story of love, hope, and rescue from Genesis to the Gospels—through 40 stories told by Jesus himself. This intriguing, funny, and heartfelt journey explores Scripture from Creation to the Resurrection through the eyes of the curious walking with Jesus on the Road to Emmaus.

God with Us also helps unveil the beautiful tapestry of Jesus’s loving presence throughout the biblical narrative. Mikalatos and Shephard effectively immerse readers in the culture and surroundings of first century Israel.

 

The long walk home after celebrating Passover in Jerusalem should be a joyful journey, but this year the travelers (including young Moshe and Rachel) are sad and afraid. Then a mysterious stranger shows up and starts telling stories—from many years ago all the way up to the recent death of Yeshua (Jesus) on the cross—and the friends can’t wait to hear more.

Engagingly written and beautifully illustrated, God with Us makes a perfect gift for Easter and throughout the year that families and readers of all ages will enjoy.

 

“Dave worked hard to make the land and trees and bushes, buildings, furniture, clothes (and toys!) look close to how they would have in those days," said author Matt Mikalatos. "Dave also did an amazing job bringing all the characters to life, and I enjoy seeing Yeshua as he eats and talks and laughs alongside the other people in this book…I love comics, and I love the Bible. I hope this graphic novel makes you love the Bible more too.”
