<p><i>Official Press Release </i></p>
<p>DEARBORN, MI - <a href="http://www.greenbrain.biz/SNAP%21.htm" target="_blank">SNAP! The Comic Arts Festival 2006</a> is less than two weeks away! The only comic convention of it's kind in Michigan. The goal of SNAP! is to showcase local, self-published and small press comic creators. And for the first time, there will be a live music halftime to help create a unique and inviting ambience.
</p>
<p> SNAP! The Comic Arts Festival 2006 hosts over 40 local and regional comic creators including local favorite and the 2005 SPACE Lifetime Achievement Award winning Matt Feazell (Amazing CynicalMan), Sean Bieri (Jumbo Jape, Metro Times illos.) and Wendi Frost (Hula Cat Comics) along with hot up and comers like David Petersen (Mouse Guard), Douglas Paszkiewicz (Arsenic Lullabies) and Eric Adams (Lackluster World). </p>
<p> Small press gatherings like SNAP! are gaining attention around the country for their focus on the art of graphic storytelling. These events give the creators unfettered access to the multitude of fans hungry for new ideas and stories in a more intimate setting. "The small press and self-publishing comic book scene is increasingly thought of as the way to make a name for yourself in this business." says event coordinator Dan Merritt "And the success of SNAP! last year proved that the media savy people in the metro Detroit market know that this is the place to discover a new favorite or catch up with the works of an established veteran."</p>
<p> The schedule this year also includes a half-time show featuring live music in the main showroom. Performers include Ypsilanti electronic improvisers Bubblegone vs. Verzerren and Ambit. The goal behind including music into the event is to forge a unique dynamic between two complimentary art forms. It also gives the exhibitors a break so they can experience the show from the other side of the table</p>
<p> SNAP! The Comic Arts Festival will be held on Saturday, November 4th in Dearborn, Michigan at the Al Matta Hall located at 5121 Oakman Blvd (1 block north of Michigan Ave). The event starts at 10am and runs until 6pm (with live music from 2-3pm). Admission to SNAP! is only $3 and parking is free. The Al Matta grill will be serving great food throughout the event. All programming and workshops will be held in the Al Matta Bar located onsite. More info on the event, including directions and expanded guest list, can be found at the website:<br>

<p><i>Official Press Release </i></p>
<p>BERKELEY, CA -- A mere two weeks before the second issue of its fledgling run hits the stands,<a href="http://imagecomics.com/" target="_blank"> Image Comics</a> is announcing a complete sell out of Manny Trembley and Eric A. Anderson's SAM NOIR: SAMURAI DETECTIVE #1!
</p>
<p>"Just to have SAM NOIR published through Shadowline was a milestone for me and to see the reaction we've gottten so far resulting in the issue selling out is honestly more than i could have imagined," said Trembly. "I just want to say thanks to Jim and Kris for seeing the potential and giving us a shot."</p>
<p>"From start to finish, bringing this book to life has been an absolute blast," says Anderson, "and for a couple of newbies to the comic world, I can't think of a bigger surprise than for the first issue to sell out as fast as it has!"</p>
<p>SAM NOIR is also becoming a favorite among critics, being called "Surprisingly heavyweight and funny" by the Las Vegas Weekly, "Quality" by Fractal Matter and "Compelling" by Broken Frontier. SAM NOIR continues to be piled on with positive praise.</p>
<p>As a way to get the book in to the hands of those who may have missed it, Image Comics is posting the entire first issue on its website in time for fans to read before issue #2 hits.</p>
<p>"quote from Jim V" - (we're so proud to have this book sell out and thanks to feedback from retailers, we realize that this was a gem that slipped under the radar for many. by providing the first issue for free, we hope that retailers take this opportunity to re-evaluate their orders to meet demand).</p>
<p>SAM NOIR tells the story of Sam, a masterless samurai who works as a private detective. Hired to follow a woman named Jasmine, he falls in love even though he has never spoken a single word to her. When she is murdered before his eyes, he embarks on a quest to find her killer and avenge his "love."</p>
<p>"Itâs kickass to know people are genuinely interested in Sam and his world," says Anderson. "Good thing weâve already started work on his next little adventure."</p>
<p>"Weâve got a barnstormer of a second series planned," adds Trembly, "and if all goes well, we'll keep bringin' the noir - Sam Style."</p>
<p>SAM NOIR: SAMURAI DETECTIVE is a black & white miniseries which retails for $2.99. SAM NOIR: SAMURAI DETECTIVE #2 (AUG061776) and #3 (SEP061827) are both available now for advance reorder.</p>
