It’s Official, on Saturday March 8th, The Melt Gallery at Meltdown comics will host GREASERS GHOULS & GALS, an art show and official release party for MOTOR CITY VOLUME 1.

Anyone who’s kept up with the blog knows, we’ve put a lot of hard work into this bad little book and now it’s time to celebrate!

Motor City Volume 1 will be on sale at the event for $12.99 and Jettila Lewis and myself will be there signing. In addition there will be a group art show from over 20 artists all doing their take on the unruly-ghouly world of hotrods, classic monsters, greasers, and hottie pin up girls!

As if that wasn’t, enough Lucky 13 clothing, Dogpile Clothing, and Monster Squad NYC will be doing clothing giveaways, and Red Rum will be providing drinks. That’s right, the good people at Red Rum and Three-D Spirits, have just come on board to make sure you don’t get bored. Booze, Monsters, Pin Ups, and Motor City… need I say more.
