Of course, as a regular reader of the The Range, you're familiar with Heroes & Villains, the current holder of the Best of Tucson title as Best Comic Book Store, via store employees Eric and Arnie's semi-regular video feature Talking Comics. Tomorrow would be a great day for you to stop by the store, whether you're a regular customer or a first-timer, as a bunch of Tucson artists will be there creating original Batman art to raise money for victims of the Aurora shooting:
This Wednesday (July 25th), fourteen artists are going to set up shop at Heroes and Villains and do $10 sketches of Batman for folks—the entirety of which will go to The New Venture Fund, a charitable organization dedicated to supporting the victims & the families of the victims of the Aurora tragedy.Those artists are:
Ryan Huna Smith 12pm-2pm
Greg Mannino 12pm-2pm
Adam Rex 12pm-3pm
Jenn Corella 12pm-3pm
Dadicus 2pm-8pm

Also, if you happen to go between 4:30-6:30, you can get a signed copy of Eric Esquivel's latest comic Thor: Unkillable Thunder Christ. Make a day of it...get an one-of-a-kind piece of comic art for a good cause and ensure your eternal damnation by picking up Eric's latest blasphemous work. What else are you doing on a Wednesday?
