David Hopkins and Brock Rizy, creators of the comic book series "Emily Edison," will appear noon to 6 p.m. July 6 at Speeding Bullet Comics, 614 N. Porter Ave.
Emily Edison leads a double-dimensional life. Her dad is a super genius appliance repairman who opened a portal with his nuclear-powered vacuum cleaner. After stepping through it, he met, fell in love with and married Emily's mother. However, their interdimensional romance didn't last, and the two divorced.
Since then, Emily has divided her time between two worlds. Her hectic teenage life is becoming a blur -- homework, slumber parties, unrequited crushes, school dances -- and is complicated further by a jealous grandfather from another dimension who hopes to bring her home by destroying the Earth.
Reality hangs in peril, and Emily must use her other worldly powers to save the planet she calls home in an interdimensional custody battle.
Arlington-based Hopkins and Dallas-based Rizy are making Speeding Bullet the only Oklahoma stop in an 11-venue tour that will take them as far as San Diego. Hopkins also wrote "Karma Incorporated" from Viper Comics.
A preview of the "Emily Edison" graphic novel is available at vipercomics.com. For more information, visit speedingbulletcomics.com.
