Al Columbia is coming! On December 11th!

I think I might have mentioned this already but it bears repeating: Al Columbia, artistic genius & inventor of beautiful horrors, will be at Ada Books for only two hours on December 11th (from 6pm to 8pm) to sign and sell his newest book Pim & Francie: The Golden Bear Days.

It is gorgeous, it is frenzied, it is unhinging. And you’ll cry tears of blood if you don’t own your own relished relic: once cradled in the hands of its creator, ink-splattered & infested with unholy talent.
