News: Here A Tori, There A Tori - Comic Book Tattoo Edition (November 2, 2008)

It’s been a while since we mentioned Comic Book Tattoo and there have been a few newsy items of interest since we last did.

First, several collectible items, including Rantz Hoseley’s personal copy of the Comic Book Tattoo Limited Edition (#4 of 1000), are being auctioned off to benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. The other items include an Under The Pink tour program, a Boys For Pele tour program, a BEA CBT print and a San Diego Comic-con CBT print, all signed by Tori. The auctions run for another week.

Second, Globecat interviewed Rantz, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Tom Williams and Ming Doyle about Comic Book Tattoo. It’s good readin’! Check it out!

Third, in what hopefully will not become a repeat of the Limited Edition Amazon stress-fest, at least one person has reported receiving a delay notice for the special edition CBT hardcover. We suspect this could be related to an misunderstanding about the publication date — Amazon shows a publication date of October 29th but the actual date, according to the information we were given, is November 19th — but we don’t know for sure. If anyone has troubles with the special edition from any retailer, please let us know.

Finally, Rantz signed several paperback and hardcover copies of Comic Book Tattoo and left them for sale at the Image Comics booth at the Alternative Press Expo at the Concourse Exhibition Center in San Francisco. APE’s ends at 6:00 PM PST today so this is probably too late notice for most people, but if you’re in the area and you need a copy, that’s one place to pick ‘em up. Thanks to Michele for that tip!
