Andy Runton, beloved creator of the Owly series from Top Shelf Productions, will be signing with us here at Acme from 5:00 - 7:00 on Tuesday, September 21st complements of our friends at Greensboro Day School!
We know it's the day before new comics, but this is the time to show up! Remember last year, how kids were talking about G-Man's Greensboro Cape Crisis for months afterwards?
Yeah, this is the all-ages event of the season and not to be missed!
We'll have plenty of copies of all five volumes of Owly, Owly plushies, and Owly t-shirts on hand for Andy to sign!

Hi there! :) My name is Andy. I've always loved to draw and always loved comics. After college and a career in corporate America, I finally followed my heart and I haven't looked back since. In 2001 I created the breakout all-ages series of graphic novels, Owly, which features a kind-hearted little owl who's always searching for new friends and adventure. The Owly series has earned praise from fans and critics alike, winning multiple awards including the Howard E. Day Memorial Prize, the Harvey Award, two Ignatz Awards, and the 2006 Eisner Award for "Best Publication for a Younger Audience." I rely on a mixture of symbols, icons, and expressions to tell my silent stories, and my work showcases my love of wildlife and the outdoors. I currently reside in the greater-Atlanta area where I work full-time on my Owly comics, books, and graphic novels. :)
