Monday, July 8, 2024

Here’s how Wright describes his comic “Truckstop Hipsters.”
“Really, it’s a comedy about four friends who get caught up in a wild adventure of waffles and murder. It’s about how self-identity does not make the person, but their attitude towards themselves and others does. It’s about many things, but nothing terribly serious, because the world is already too serious. So, let’s have some fun and enjoy some satire.”

Adams recently reported that his comics series from Keenspot is in development for an animated series.

The comic book asks, what happens when a can of beans is jettisoned into space, bombarded by TV transmissions from the Kung Fu Network, then struck by lightning while hurtling to Earth? It’s kung-fu action with a superpowered bean in this comedic adventure from Keenspot.

Adams is helping us celebrate our 25th anniversary month, as Matt & Annette took over the former Norman Archives and Millennium Books on June 8, 1998! Matt had previously worked at the Archives as a high school student and was excited to return to comics retail as an owner, along with Annette, who brought her style and retail expertise to the enterprise as well! Twenty-five years and three kids later we are excited to celebrate the Silver Anniversary of the shop along with longtime manager Dan Nash, who has been part of the Speeding Bullet staff for over 20 years himself!

We can’t wait to celebrate with you at our June 17 signing and anniversary sale. And while you’re here, get a Speeding Bullet 25th anniversary T-shirt, while supplies last!

We have silver-ink 25th-anniversary logo T-shirts for Speeding Bullet Comics in sizes S-2XL. Colors include:

DEEP TEAL

CARDINAL

ASPHALT

EVERGREEN

Child-size T’s are available in red.

Celebrate this anniversary with us! And look for more events throughout our 25th anniversary year!
