The Weekend of Local (WOL) is a campaign encouraging customers throughout Oklahoma to go visit, shop and eat from local businesses between July 17-19. The celebration asks Oklahomans to show up and spend money at local businesses only throughout that weekend!

Speeding Bullet will celebrate with events, signings and specials throughout the weekend!

Friday: Double stamps day

Sign up for Speeding Bullet Comics’ email list and get double stamps on your Rapid Reader card for graphic novel purchases on July 17!

Saturday: local signings!

Oklahoma comics authors Charles Work (“PPL Comics”) and Hunter Siler (“Adventures of the Lizard Princess”) will sign their comics from 2-4 pm on July 18!

Charles’ “PPL Comics” (short for “Principles of Programming Languages”) mix computer science with comedy, with characters including Sunglasses, The Penguin (not the Burgess Meredith kind), The Ninja and more!

Hunter Carmene Siler is an Oklahoma-based author who loves creating imaginative worlds and fantastical characters. Inspired by fantasy, animals, and nature, she enjoys bringing these stories to life through both writing and illustration. Her comic, “Adventures of the Lizard Princess,” is set in a fantastical world brimming with magic in which lives the Lizard Princess. Her only goal? To acquire all of the shiny treasures in the world!

Sunday: Ink and Draw!

The latest Norman-based “Ink and Draw” will be held from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 19 at Speeding Bullet Comics, 614 N Porter Ave. in Norman. The event is hosted in conjunction with the Oklahoma Comic Arts Foundation; this week’s event is part of the “Weekend of Local” celebration across Oklahoma.

All comic-book creators, amateur, professional, and everywhere in between are welcome. Come to the shop and discuss your comic-book work with other creatives, ask questions or just work on your scripts or drawing!
