Jeremy Holt is one of the most promising new faces in comics today. Luckily people have taken notice, his new series through Action Lab Entertainment “Southern Dog” has sold out of its initial print run in many major retailers across North America. For good reason, the story is a mix of racial prejudice and werewolf lore on the wonderfully accepting bible belt of America. Holt himself will be signing copies of Southern Dog at The Vermont Book Shop, 38 Main Street Middlebury, VT on Saturday, March 28th from 3-5pm. The event is co sponsored by Shacksbury Cider. So go for the comic, stay for the cider, and trust me, talk to Jeremy, he’s one of the best dudes in comics.
