New York Comic Con is next weekend (Oct. 5-8) and we couldn’t be more excited! If you’ll be there, be sure to stop by booth #1140 and say hello. We’ll have some great giveaways (including an amazing EXCLUSIVE poster) from Tu Books and you’ll also get to meet the creators of I Am Alfonso Jones, Tony Medina, Stacey Robinson, and John Jennings.
If you don’t have tickets to New York Comic Con, you can still join the celebrations! We have two book launch events lined up for I Am Alfonso Jones next week, both free and open to the public.
Join us at Poets House in conjunction with Kweli Journal and at the Langston Hughes House in conjunction with I, Too Arts Collective. See below for our full schedule of events!
