We're going to be celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Pineapple Man at   Amazing Comic Con Aloha, November 8-10.  We'll be selling Pineapple Man Volume 1 which collects issues #0-4 that were originally published in the 90s.  It includes added notes and six new bonus pages.  A 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Pog Set will be available and we'll be giving away select stickers.  Sam will be slashing prices on other items and we're planning a fun scavenger event.    Don't miss the Hawaii Comics panel on Sunday at 11am  where Sam will be accompanied by local creators!

Sam will be a part of Maui Comics Presents..., an art show showcasing local artists at the Wailuku Art Space, 53 N Market Street in Wailuku.  On exhibit will be his art boards from Pineapple Man #9 and #10 with proceeds going to the Lahaina Emergency Relief.  You can meet him in person at the opening reception on Oct. 18th from 5pm to 9pm.  The exhibit runs through Nov. 2nd.

Two Maui creators will be debuting their comics at this event.  R Kikuo Johnson's Maui Uncharted and Lahaina Hallelujah have never before been printed and will be released as a double-sided comic art print, limited to 40 copies sold ONLY at this event. All proceeds from the sale of these comics will go to support the Lahaina Emergency Relief - West Maui Wildfires fund organized by Michael McCartney.   Bailey Onaga's comic, My Messed Up Life Still Thrills You, is a slice of life that follows Bailey's time living in Japan. The first printing is limited to 200 copies.

The works of Edwin Ushiro, Chase Tokutaro, Napua Ahina, Drew Gutierrez, Courtney Holland, Todd Bernardy and his daughter, Pania, will also be showcased. If you love comics, local art, pop culture, Maui history, and everything in between you won't want to miss this art show.
