Heeeyyy! Love-love from my home comics shop! =========== Posted @withregram • @mutinycomics My cover of the day, by local phenom, R. Alan Brooks. Alan is a renowned comic book writer and this comic book is one of the first he also drew. He is also a very good artist. This two story one-shot features a story set in Mutiny Information Cafe! Some of the staff, including yours truly, can be spotted in the background. This flew under my radar Until I saw a copy laying on the counter this week. Both poignant stories are well worth the read. Available on the New Comic Book Rack at Mutiny Information Cafe! @mutinyinfocafe @mutinycomics @ralanwrites (at Mutiny Comics) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnbLgmgMF54/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
