Comic Relief, based in Berkeley, Calif., is hosting two events this weekend at their shop. First up on Saturday is an appearance by Mark Haven Britt:
Critically acclaimed comics creator Mark Haven Britt will be appearing at Comic Relief in Berkeley, CA on Saturday, August 25th, 2007 from 5 to 7 P.M.. The Xeric Award-winner will be promoting the release of his new Image Comics original graphic novel, FULL COLOR.
And that might be enough creator goodness for the average store on the average weekend, but Comic Relief has even bigger plans for Sunday:
Comic Relief: THE Comic Book Store, will be hosting a party for the Bay Area’s own 2007 Eisner winner’s and nominees August 26th , 5pm – 7pm. The Honorees include: Gene Yang, Lark Pien (American Born Chinese), Steve Leialoha (Fables), Derek McCulloch, Shepherd Hendrix (Stagger Lee). The evening will be a family-friendly event with refreshments and the opportunity to meet some of the Bay Area’s finest talent.

I saw Comic Relief proprietor Rory Root for the first time last week at a Commonwealth Club event here in San Francisco, where he was speaking about the development of the graphic novel. He was nice enough to stop by my blog afterwards, even after I wondered whether he might have been the inspiration for the Comic Book Guy on the Simpsons.
