Howdy! My name is Rob Saucedo (Class of '07). I'm a film programmer based out of Houston, TX but - in my spare time - I write comic books. My new graphic novel is set in College Station and follows a reporter who goes undercover at a furry convention to track down the identity of a werewolf. I'm going on a book tour starting this weekend to promote the book, sign copies and screen werewolf films at various movie theaters. You can check out the full list below or find ticket links here. If you are near one of those cities and like comics, horror movies or a combination of the two, come out and say "Howdy."

That's awesome, congrats!

I still remember the first time I saw Silver Bullet as a kid. Great movie.

I probably won't be making the screening / signing at Alamo Drafthouse, because it starts at 10 pm in my town, and I'm old.

But I'm not too old to read an Aggie's werewolf comic book set in College Station! How and when can I buy a copy somewhere other than Alamo Drafthouse at 10 pm?

Edit: I'm not too old to use google and amazon. Looks like it releases July 7 for $30 paperback, $50 hardcover. Which will be available on your tour? The tour looks awesome by the way.

Yep, you can buy from Amazon and most other major retailers. I will have copies available for sale on the tour (and will be set up to sign an hour before all listed showtimes in the theater lobby). I'll also be set up at Comicpalooza this May for any folks in the Houston area. And thank you!

It says "M for mature". What age do you think it is appropriate for? Also, are the prices the same at the signing? $30 for a paperback and $50 for a hardcover seems on the high side.

If it was a movie, it'd be rated R for language and violence. If you'd let a kid watch a Tarantino film, it'd probably be OK but if the idea of letting them watch Pulp Fiction would make you blush, I'd recommend not sharing.

Those are the same prices at the signing, but - for context - it's a 300-page graphic novel. That's the price most comics of this size tend to run.

I probably won't be picking it up, but definitely wanted to chime in here to say congrats, because it's obvious you did something amazing that only a few people get to truly experience!
