Frank Reade Release Party with Anina Bennett and Paul Guinan

Posted on February 8th, 2012

Bridge City Comics is proud to announce our Frank Reade Release Party on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 from 6pm – 9pm! This event is free to the public. In attendance to sign autographs will be authors Anina Bennett and Paul Guinan. Copies of the book will be available for sale ($24.95) during the event.

The event will also host special guests PDXYAR, Portland’s own pirate group! Thrill to a mock battle between pirates and author Paul Guinan as Frank Reade Jr.! On display will be Frank Reade Sr. & Jr.’s Centennial, an electric ironclad gunboat!

Before Jules Verne's flying machines and H. G. Wells's spaceships, there was Frank Reade, globe-trotting inventor and original steampunk hero. Now he's back in a new book: Frank Reade: Adventures in the Age of Invention!

BONUS: There’s a prize at the grand finale event! The first ten attendees who make it to all three events and get their “Land, Sea, and Air” passports stamped will receive a print of an original Frank Reade engraving signed by both authors, plus custom-stamped Frank Reade chocolate “gold coins” (which will also be available for purchase). Get your passport stamped at Floating World Comics February 8, then Bridge City Comics February and then at the final event at Things From Another World (Hollywood)!
