2015 Legend of the Mantamaji Graphic Novel Book Tour Starts This Weekend

graphic novel book signing, san francisco, mlk 20152014 was a great year for Legend of the Mantamaji and 2015 is shaping up to be even better with the launch of the Legend of the Mantamaji 11 city (and adding) book tour! We have almost doubled the number of appearances over last year’s successful promotion tour (check out the Year in Review here.)

Our first stop in 2015 is at the historic San Francisco Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration. This event attracts more than 30,000 people to the area with music festivals, film screenings, a brunch, march and this year – the first Black Comix Arts Festival! I was invited as a Special Guest and Sunday, January 18th I will take part in an Author Conversation with book signing to follow.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to stay for the events on Monday as well. Right after I finish the book signing I will fly back to L.A. to shoot NBC’s Undateable. My awesome team will be there on Monday however, lead by my wife Nikki, to run the Legend of the Mantamaji booth.

If you’re in the Bay Area or up for a road trip, come out and support this great new con and Dr. King’s legacy.

2014 Year in Review for Legend of the Mantamaji

What a year this has been! When Legend of the Mantamaji launched, independently through “And…Action!” Entertainment, we had no idea what the reception would be. It’s a big graphic novel series, we were starting from scratch, but I knew people would like the books if I could just get them into their hands. Now, two books into the series and response has been overwhelmingly positive and supportive. Let’s take a look at what the year brought:

Thank you again everyone for all of your support and don’t forget – Legend of the Mantamaji Book Three launches in February, pre-order here and mark your calendars for the 2015 Book Tour!
