Summer gives everyone a reason to celebrate: Students have the end of school to look forward to; baseball fans have the regular season; and, of course, comics readers have the summer conventions.

This year, Heroes and Dragons is celebrating summer with a huge event the weekend of June 20-22.

The festivities begin Friday, June 20, at 5:00 p.m., when actor Peter Mayhew ("Chewbacca" from Star Wars) joins us for a special visit with Heroes and Dragons customers.

Then, on Saturday, June 21, join us at 10:00 a.m. at the Carmike 14 Cinemas at Harbison for an exclusive showing of Batman and Robin. Tickets are on sale now at the store for $3.00 and will also be available at the same price one hour before showtime at the theater.

After the movie, come back to the store for an equally exciting premiere, as Columbia’s own Vineyard Press unveils its first anthology, A Stranger’s Tale.

From 1:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m., all the writers and artists from Vineyard will be our special guests. Pick up your copy of A Stranger’s Tale #1 for only $2.00 and get it signed by the entire creative team!

Also joining us will be Rock 93.5’s Ron Marsh (with a special live broadcast from the premiere party) and cover artist Steve Epting, known for his work on The Avengers and X-Factor.

Last but not least, we will be opening our giant comics warehouse for the ENTIRE DAY! Enjoy the unbeatable 4-comics-for-$1 deal, or build your own long box of comics for only $50!
