You could win iconic art from the windows of Speeding Bullet Comics!

We are hosting an art auction throughout August 2026 to sell pieces that have hung in the shop’s windows for decades as we prepare for newly designed window displays. Proceeds benefit three local neighborhood schools: Jefferson Elementary, Wilson Elementary, and Longfellow Middle School.

We will host a live auction at 5 p.m. Saturday, August 29, where we will have our final auctions and debut the new art for the windows! Can you guess what will be represented?

The silent portion of the auction is currently underway at the shop. Customers can visit the store at 614 N. Porter Ave. in Norman and speak directly with Dan or staff to place preliminary silent bids.

Items up for bid include original window art by Kevin Stark (of the Toy and Action Figure Museum) based on Amazing Spider-Man #301, a piece commemorating the store’s exclusive “Josie” cover by Jessica Garvey, and promotional signage from the 2010 historic in-store creator signing with James Robinson and Sterling Gates!

In connection with the Pioneer Library, Speeding Bullet Comics will host a book club discussion at 6 p.m. August 20.

This month’s book is “Minor Threats Volume 1: A Quick End To A Long Beginning” written by Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum and illustrated by Scott Hepburn.

The book description is as follows:

It’s hard out there for a supervillain. Not the world conquerors, chaos engines, or arch-nemeses, but the little guys, the career criminals. The ones who put on uniforms, knock over jewelry stores, and get tied to telephone poles before the hero swings off to face the actual big bad. Times are tough for costumed crooks…and they’re about to get much worse.

The psychotic Stickman has done the unthinkable and murdered Kid Dusk, sidekick to Twilight City’s premier crime-fighter, The Insomniac. The Insomniac’s teammates, The Continuum, are tearing Twilight apart, turning it into a terrifying police state—desperate to capture the Stickman and stop the Insomniac from “crossing that final line” in which he may never come back from.

Caught in the middle are the small-time C-list villains, finding it impossible to pull jobs or even walk down the street without being harassed by these heroes. With a bounty on the Stickman’s head, former villain Playtime decides to put together a ragtag team of equally disgruntled supervillains to take down the Stickman and kill him themselves, leading her on a dark journey into the criminal underbelly she’s tried so hard to escape.

This graphic crime drama is about superheroes and villains and the last gasp of the colorful, innocent days of the silver and bronze age…before they’re dragged into the grit-soaked modern era.

The Book Club sessions are hosted by Dave Brown and designed for adults.

Writer/artist John Eric Osborn will sign at Speeding Bullet Comics from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. August 8! Osborn is a native artist, creator, and writer from Oklahoma who is best-known for his comics “Hiro Doggie: Space Corgi” and “The Enigma Machine.”
