Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud | The Cartoonists Club

What:

We are very excited to welcome Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud to Houston to celebrate their new book, The Cartoonists Club.

NOTE: This is a TICKETED event. Your ticket will include access to the in person event, and a copy of The Cartoonists Club. Each book comes with a custom bookplate signed by Raina and Scott.

There will not be a signing line and please do not bring any additional books from home. There will, however, be a photo opportunity with the authors in front of a special free standing step and background that puts both the creators and attendees into a comic setting as if it were taken from a page within the book!

Each ticket admits one adult and one child - please indicate how many will be attending at checkout.

Event refunds will be issued up to 24 hours before the event. If you are unable to attend at the last minute, we are happy to hold your book for pickup or you can contact us to arrange for shipping.
