Matt Miner & Rich Douek Signing

  • East Side Mags 491 Bloomfield Avenue Montclair, NJ, 07042 United States (map)

We’re BACK to signings and what better way to bring it back with two of our best friends in the world of comics!

Remember Matt Miner? He wrote some bangers like Toe Tag Riot, Gwar Orgasmageddon, Critical Hit and Lab Raider. Matt’s love of comics, animals and music are consistently fused together in his writing and his catalogue proves it. He also runs a shelter for pit bulls and is one of the nicest people we have ever gotten to work with since opening the shop. It’s only fitting that he is one of our first creators back in our new space for our first signing of 2022. Now his newest hit - POSER - is collected in trade paperback and we’ve got copies!

About POSER: Long thought to be an urban legend in the underground music scene of Redondo Beach, Poser is back to carve a gory slash through the heart of the Los Angeles South Bay! Collecting the complete four issue mini-series for the first time, Poser upends traditional slasher tropes and gives horror fans something new and exciting to talk about for years to come!

For fans of: Horror, Punk Rock

We also have local legend, Montclair-resident and all around fun guy Rich Douek! Rich has been a fan of ours since we opened in 2014 which is great cuz we’re a SUPER HUGE fan of his too! Rich has more than a few awesome series under his belt including Sea of Sorrows, Road of Bones, Happy Hill and even did some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stories and a Superman story in the recent Superman Red & Blue anthology series. Now Rich’s newest creation - THE OCEAN WILL TAKE US - is here with issue #1 and we’ve got plenty of copies for him to vandalize with his signature!

About THE OCEAN WILL TAKE US: Something's lurking in the waters of Almanzar Bay - and when Casey March tries out for the swim team, he learns firsthand that messing with the social order of his new high school can have dangerous - even deadly - consequences! From Bram Stoker-Award nominated writer Rich Douek (Sea of Sorrows, Road of Bones) and artist Carlos Olivares, comes a new tale of horror and intrigue - where a group of high school outcasts band together to fight a growing evil in their school and town.

For fans of: Horror, Teen Drama, Conspiracy

The signing will be from 1pm-5pm and we’ll have copies of both books as well as various other titles available for each creator to sign for customers.

We can’t wait to see everyone!
