TMNT Signing with Rich Douek

Local comic writer (seriously, the guy lives 3 blocks away) Rich Douek has written an issue of TMNT Universe and it comes out end of June/July and to celebrate, Rich is coming by the shop to sign copies and talk about Ninja Turtles with the fans!

Rich Douek is a writer, copywriter, and graphic designer working in New York City. He has written comics for Comixtribe, Red Stylo Press and IDW Publishing, and helmed award-winning advertising campaigns for clients such as Snickers, FedEx, and Foot Locker.

He is the creator of Gutter Magic, an urban fantasy series that he is continually working to expand upon, as well as several other creator-owned properties in various stages of development.

Rich spends most of his time writing, and the rest of it thinking about writing, much to the chagrin of his wife and children, who nevertheless tolerate and support his mad dreams of making a living by putting words on paper.

Meet Rich, get a copy of TMNT Universe #11 and hang out with a creative super man and rising Montclair legend!
