Free Comic Book Day is one of the most anticipated events of the year, when fans get a preview of upcoming projects involving their favorite icons or discover new characters. More Fun Comics and Games is celebrating its 15th year in Denton with a very special #FCBD guest, comics legend Scott Williams, who illustrated the Denton Batman #1 exclusive variant cover. The award-winning illustrator will be revealing his artistic beginnings, his storied career, and behind-the-panels tales of infamous projects in this special Nerd Nite event at the Bearded Monk on Saturday May 6 at 8pm.

The special 2016 DC Comics ‘Rebirth’ issue is only the third time in Batman's 75-year publication history that the Dark Knight has appeared in a “Batman #1” first issue. Tim Stoltzfus, co-owner of More Fun Comics & Games on the downtown Denton Courthouse Square, will also reveal the secret origins of this special Denton Batman #1 cover that is the most recent in his line of exclusive variant covers that feature the iconic Denton Courthouse.

Nerd Nite Denton is thrilled to host this geektastic interview in collaboration with The Bearded Monk and We Denton Do It, in pursuit of our mission to bring intellectually-engaging programs wherein we learn cool stuff as we drink & think together!

The interviews begin at 8pm, then followed by audience Q&A!
