Celebrate 28 years of Speeding Bullet!

Saturday, June 6, 2026

We are bringing Oklahoma comic creator Don Rosencrans and Oklahoma poet Joshua Walker to the shop as part of our 28th anniversary celebration on June 13! Speeding Bullet officially began on June 8, 1998, following in the footsteps of the previous Millennium Books and Archives Norman.

Don and Joshua will sign from noon-3 p.m. on Saturday, June 13 to help us celebrate 28 years of the store!

Don, a longtime Oklahoma independent comic creator, will be signing the third and concluding issue of his comic book “Dreamscape.” The story features high school student Micah, who has been whisked away to the Dreamscape: a surreal place where spirits go when they sleep — or pass away.

Joshua Walker is an Oklahoma City poet, writer, and creator known online as The Last Bard. His work has appeared in Potomac Review, Solarpunk Magazine, Southern Florida Poetry Journal, Kelp Review, Libre, and numerous other publications. He is the author of The Least Weird Person Awake and has built an audience of more than 310,000 followers across social media. His work blends humor, surrealism, speculative fiction, and poetry to explore the strange corners of everyday life.

The Least Weird Person Awake is a surreal narrative poetry collection that follows one increasingly bizarre night through the eyes of a man who may be the only normal person in a profoundly abnormal world.

This month’s book is the collected edition of the 1982 “Wolverine” miniseries by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller.

Description: Logan’s vacation from the X-Men is interrupted when he discovers that his beloved, Mariko Yashida, has been married off by her criminal father Lord Shingen! When Shingen humiliates Wolverine in front of Mariko, the hero loses heart, drowning his sorrows in beer, bar fights…and the arms of wild assassin Yukio. But when betrayal strikes from an unexpected source, can Wolverine reclaim his honor and rescue Mariko and himself from Shingen’s trap? Secrets, shockers and broken hearts await in Wolverine’s legendary first solo adventure.

The Book Club sessions are hosted by Dave Brown and designed for adults.
