Hell Yeah #1 is slated for release on March 7. Collector's Paradise wants to add a little flair to that release by making the day Joe Keatinge day. And on that day, both store locations will boast events in honor of the man and the comic.
"Joe Keatinge grew up in Los Angeles, emmersed in the early Image Comics culture. He exemplifies the true spirit of Image Comics, the biggest and best of the Independent comic book publishers." said Edward Greenberg, managing partner of Collector's Paradise, adding: "Joe has been a friend for a long time and it makes me very proud to be the one helping him release his first major creator-owned work in his birth town for all his fans and family."
First, from noon to 3 PM, Keatinge will be signing at the San Fernando Valley store. Copies of both the regular and Collector's Paradise Exclusive covers will be available. After a small break, the Release party wil move to the Pasadena branch starting 7 PM. That one will be an 18 and over event and alcohol will be served to the 21-year-olds.
"I first left Los Angeles ten years ago, then only dreaming of someday creating comics." said Joe Keatinge, adding: "Coming back after a decade with HELL YEAH, the one I've been conceiving since I was a kid, is beyond exciting. Collector's Paradise is an ideal venue in making that happen."
