Marvel’s mightiest Avengers are among the world’s most
popular super-heroes, but starting on March 2, they will be especially popular
in beautiful Pleasant Hill California.
Flying Colors Comics, known as one of the world’s best comic
book specialty shops, is teaming with Marvel Comics to produce a special limited
edition of AVENGERS STANDOFF
ALPHA #1 featuring Pleasant Hill’s historic landmark, the Soldier’s Memorial Monument. This special edition
comes with exclusive cover art by fan favorite artist and Contra Costa County
resident Arthur Adams.
“This is all
about keeping it local and shining the light of super-heroes on this beautiful
area,” said Joe Field, owner of the award-winning Flying Colors Comics on Treat
Boulevard in Concord, just up the road from Pleasant Hill CA. “The story in
this comic book may take place in a fictitious Pleasant Hill, but I’m excited
to put together this special edition showcasing the real Pleasant Hill’s most
famous landmark. Having local superstar comics artist Arthur Adams do the art
for this special edition makes it even cooler.”
The Flying
Colors Avengers Standoff Alpha #1 Pleasant Hill special edition will be available
exclusively at Flying Colors Comics starting on Wednesday March 2. Flying
Colors is at 2980 Treat Boulevard at Oak Grove Road in Concord. The store is
