Kristin Thompson is going to be available to sign her book “The Frodo Franchise” during Comic-Con. “I’ve come up with three one-hour time-slots when I’ll be at the booth to sign your copies of The Frodo Franchise. (If you’ve got others of my books you want signed, feel free to bring ‘em along.) I imagine I’ll have time to chat, too, if you just want to drop by. And don’t forget to buy one or two of the T-shirts designed by Weta Workshop’s Daniel Falconer. All profits from the shirts and books go to support TORN, so it’s all in a good cause. Here are the times when I’ll be at the booth:
Thursday 1:30 to 2:30
Friday 11:30 to 12:30 (That’s shortly after the TORN panel)
Sunday 1:00 to 2:00.”
Copies of “The Frodo Franchise” will be available for purchase at the Slave Boy booth (booth #5424) where TORn will be located. If you’re going to Comic-Con, be sure and take this opportunity to visit with Kristin and have your copy of “The Frodo Franchise” signed! Read More

If you have not purchased your tickets for Comic-Con 2008 (July 23-27 2008, San Diego CA), you may want to get a move on! While the four day passes are sold out, they have just started selling single day tickets and they are moving quickly (especially the Saturday Tickets!) Tolkien fans who attend this year will have more than a few panels and places to visit during the event. We may be slightly biased, but we suggest making sure you get to Comic-Con on Friday morning – more about that later! For now, make sure you secure your tickets! [Comic-Con 2008]
