Zombie Tramp #1 Celebrates at Sphinx Comics

Zombie Tramp is a big hit for Action Lab Entertainment, which of course makes for good news. What makes for even better news is relaunching the series and celebrating with a signing tour that starts at Sphinx Comics, Cards and Collectibles in Riverside, California on Saturday, July 19. Sphinx Comics will be selling a limited edition variant cover drawn by Jamal Igle. Zombie Tramp creator Dan Mendoza will join Igle for the signing which takes place on the stores one year anniversary. The signing will take place from 10 AM until 3 PM.

Sphinx Comics co-owner Michael Marts said “They’re pretty amazing at what they do, and we’re excited about their appearance and the controversial nature of the cover they illustrated for our store.”

The cover by Igle, which features Zombie Tramp Janey Bell removing a deaf zombie child's Cochlear implant while the child signs "I love you," is as much a personal statement for them as a celebration for their one year anniversary. Sphinx Comics, Cards and Collectibles became the nation’s first known deaf-owned comic book storefront when it opened in 2013. Sphinx Comics will sell only 1,000 limited-edition copies of Zombie Tramp with this select cover featuring American Sign Language.

“This is a huge deal,” Marts said. “We won’t have this cover available anywhere else, nor will it be sold after this special celebration.”
