Steve Niles, the mind behind 30 Days of Night, Simon Dark, Criminal Macabre and Batman: Gotham After Midnight will be in the area this week. Steve comes to DC to do a signing at Big Monkey Comics and to play bass in his old band Gray Matter at the Black Cat’s 15th Anniversary Party. Gray Matter disbanded in 1986 and reformed in 1990 around the time Niles started his work in comics. Check the flyers below for details of the events.
