Criminal writer and Captain America killer Ed Brubaker will be at Isotope Comics in San Francisco tonight from 8 p.m. to midnight.
Store owner James Sime told me yesterday that they’re planning for some pretty crazy drinks, as the night’s bartender, Kirsten Baldock, thumbed through 1935 Old Mister Boston Guide. I heard rumors of absinthe, but can’t really confirm …
Also while I was there, James was working on this post about Eric Powell’s Satan’s Sodomy Baby, which has experienced some problems making it to retail. Some shops on the East Coast have received it, while the West Coast hasn’t seen any, but fear not … they’ll make their way out here on Wednesday.

I’ll be there, though I’m a teetotaler!

As always… teetotalers welcome!

No absinthe, although Kirsten still did a kick-ass job (of course!). Plenty of French 75 and Bachelor Bait for everyone.
