Top Cow Announces Pilot Season Signing Tour

What's a good book or comic book without a signing tour? Top Cow is pretty fond of them and see a signing tour as good cause for Top Cow's inaugural comic for Pilot Season 2010. Pilot Season: 39 Minutes’ William Harms and Jerry Lando will kick off the launch of Pilot Season 2010 next week in Las Vegas and Philadelphia, respectively, to coincide with the launch of the first issue on September 22.

”Pilot Season is an ideal event for us to schedule signing events around because of the wide variety of talent we have participating each year,” explained Publisher Filip Sablik. “This year is no different with established talent like Marc Silvestri, Jeff Katz, and Phil Noto along side exciting up-and-comers like Jerry Lando, David Marquez, and the dynamic duo of Hill and Levin. We’re all getting out on the campaign trail to win the hearts and minds of our voting public!”

In addition to Harms and Lando, other Top Cow talent will include Filip Sablik, Jenny Frison, David Marquez, Jeff Katz, Bryan Edward Hill, Rob Levin and Phil Noto. Full press release and details after the jump.
