Sat 11/30--- Young Artists' Seminar with DC Comics' artist/inker JACK PURCELL

Join us on Saturday November 30 for our Small Business Saturday event and meet professional artist/inker JACK PURCELL (Batman, Teen Titans, Detective Comics).

From 3:00-4:30pm, Jack will be signing his work and doing commissioned sketches for fans.

Then from 5:00pm-7:00pm, we've arranged something very special! Jack will be conducting an ART SEMINAR for aspiring comic book artists between the ages of 10-16. Jack will give a tutorial on drawing comics with a live demonstration. Young artists interested in getting better at drawing are encouraged to attend!

This will be a very LIMITED admission ticketed event, so get your tickets now at Flying Colors Comics & Other Cool Stuff. Admission is $15 per student. Ticket will include admission to the Jack Purcell event, plus pizza and soda from Round Table.

Please Note: Because of limited space, adults will not be able to attend. This event will be in the meeting room at Round Table Pizza just two doors down from Flying Colors on Treat Blvd. However, during the seminar may just be the best time to pick up gifts from Flying Colors for the comic lovers in your life!

Digital Comics from Flying Colors

On those rare occasions when you can't make it to Flying Colors to pick up your latest stash of print comics, we do conveniently offer digital comics from Comixology.

There's always a link posted to right of this page on the front page of this blog, or you can click on the Comixology icon here.

While most comics fans still believe that nothing can replace print comics, it's good to have access to a wide array of titles when you're traveling or away from the massive selection offered at Flying Colors!



(Please, if you do choose to buy any comics digitally, use this link to get Flying Colors a bit of credit. Thanks!)

Halloween Comicfest is Almost Here!

The Archie Comic That's NOT for Kids

Now Available at 
Flying Colors! 
EXCLUSIVE Variant Edition of the most talked-about Archie Comic of the year!
AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE
Rated T+ (appropriate
for ages 13 and up)

Writer Robert Aguirre-Sacasa and artist Francesco Francavilla have delivered one of the most entertaining, strange and terrific horror comics of this or any other year!

What happens when Riverdale is infected with the zombie virus? Will Jughead move from devouring burgers and fries at Pop's Choklit Shoppe to eating brains?

Take the Riverdale gang in a more mature, less cartoony setting, add in elements of the best zombie fiction, add Francavilla's totally engaging art... and there's the recipe for a great way to spend $2.99.
