TONIGHT: Grant Morrison Meltsdown at Meltdown

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Superstar comic book writer Grant Morrison (Batman, Justice League of America, The Invisibles, New X-Men, etc.) makes his way to Meltdown comics on Sunset (Los Angeles’ 2nd best comic book shop) to sign copies of his latest smash hit, Batman and Robin. Also marking Mr. Morrison’s big return to LA will be a pre-book signing conversation with horror icon Clive Barker and music provided by IHEARTCOMIX mastermind Frankie Chan.  Between tonight’s appearance of Morrison at Meltdown and Paper Rad’s performance art at Family, many a comic book nerd will surely be sleeping well.
