San Diego Comic Con is this week and children’s book and comic imprint First Second has revealed their signing schedule. For parents heading to SDCC, First Second’s events are well worth a look.
You might know First Second from their comic offerings here on Tor.com, from nostalgic video game comic strip Legends of the Joystick to the more recent selections from Nursery Rhyme Comics to the various contributions of their author Faith Erin Hicks. Check out the creators and artists form First Second at Booth #1323!
