Snow, Glass, Apples at San Diego Comic Con!

[kebechet]

Just a small reminder, ladies and gents – the Snow, Glass, Apples set will be available through the CBLDF at San Diego Comic Con! All our love and thanks to Neil for making this possible, and for taking the time to sign a few of the chapbooks! Neil, you really are one hell of a good guy, and we love ya! =D

 

Here’s a recap of the details:

 

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab is thrilled to present a numbered, limited edition chapbook of Neil Gaiman’s acclaimed short story, Snow, Glass, Apples, beautifully illustrated by Julie Dillon. Each package includes a 5ml bottle of perfume, created by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, that was inspired by the tale. This set is a limited run of 1000. 250 will be sold by CBLDF at Comic Con 2008, and the remainder will go on sale July 30, 2008 on the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab web site and will be available as long as supplies last. This is a charitable, not-for-profit venture: proceeds from every single set go to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, which works to preserve and protect the First Amendment rights of the comics community.

 

Please visit the CBLDF’s booth at SDCC! 1831 and 1833
