Visit to San Francisco wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t stop by a comic book store. Such a great shop and the owner James was fantastic. Great conversation they both got to enjoy plus an amazing gift for Babe to add to his collection. 🃏

Rick Remender at Isotope Comic's 25th Anniversary

-

Rick Remender has quickly become one of my favorite writers for series such as Escape and Deadly Class. I was so grateful to have met him and have some comics signed by him at Isotopes 25th anniversary. I can't wait to dive into his new up coming series and dive deeper into his other works. Congrats to Isotope Comics for reaching that big milestone!

25TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 2026
All-Ages Signing: 3–6 PM

Isotope Comics, San Francisco

Coming back home to sign books and launch a permanent Giant Generator pop-up shop inside Isotope, featuring our full library of compendiums, oversized hardcovers, limited-edition giclée prints, old and rare single issues, signed posters, and tons of cool stuff out of my file copy closest you won’t find anywhere else.
-----
Twenty-five years ago, I was a dirt-poor writer/artist struggling to pay rent for the rotting garage I called home in the Sunset District of San Francisco.

When James Sime opened the Isotope comic book store down the street from me, it seemed fated by the rat god of punker nerds.

Isotope quickly became my home away from the black-mold dungeon I was living in. James and I would spend hours talking about old hardcore, new wave, post-punk, skating, and this strange business.

At a very uncertain time in my life, when there appeared to be little hope I’d feed myself, much less accomplish my dreams, Isotope gave me a home base and a safe harbor. James was always generous with encouragement and advice, not only supporting the books but throwing parties around them.

When you’re dead broke, working yourself to death while receiving very little positive feedback, something like this can encourage you to continue. In my case, it did.

As James and I were reminiscing a few months ago, it turned out that I was one of the creators featured at Isotope’s first-ever signing 25 years back, so we decided it would be nice to celebrate it.

If you’re in the region or feel like traveling to my favorite city, come hang out, we’d love to see you.
