The #ComicsAsArt show is our annual September showcase of the medium of comics in a gallery setting. It's open to comics made in Oklahoma, and for the first year ever, to comics made in the surrounding states (AR, CO, KS, MO, NM, & TX).
This is a chance to have your work hanging on a gallery wall, AND there are cash prizes for Best in Show and Audience Choice.
Our judge this year is Robert Wilson IV, co-creator of Heartthrob, Like A Virus, and more, and the cover artist for #wepromisedutopia 3!
The jury is made up of last year's Best in Show winner Meghan Harvey, and the Audience Choice winner Art of Alexandra Brodt!

Now that it's April 2, we should tell you that #Waldenbooks Paseo was just us foolin' around.
We remain the fiercely independent home of #storiesthatresistclassification, the #PaseoArtsDistrict's place for local books, art, and gifts, along with a curated selection of some of the most interesting books around.
We hope you're enjoying this beautiful Saturday and come by and see us!
We are so excited to finally be able to share with you that effective today, #LiteratiPress is now #Waldenbooks Paseo.
The deal has been in the works for months, and we are ecstatic to become part of the Waldenbooks chain.
And don't worry, while Charles and Steve will be counting their money on yachts in the Mediterranean, Waldenbooks corporate has assured us that they'll keep James, Chloe, Tre, and Ruth on for at least two months (more if they hit their daily sales goals)!
A year ago today, we got to host Raymond Antrobus Poet’s virtual release reading for The Perseverance.
It’s one of the coolest things we’ve ever done.
Hope you and the family are well, Raymond!

Join us tomorrow for #FirstFridayPaseo!
It's the opening of "Travels," a new show of Chris Marciszewski’s, wonderful watercolor work.
A retired architect, Marciszewski’s watercolors capture a real sense of place and spirit. With "Travels," Marciszewski presents paintings from his journeys around the world.
His watercolors of Oklahoma landmarks have been perennial best-sellers at the shop, and are now available at Travel Information Centers around the state.
"Travels" will be on view in the Literati Press/Paseo Plunge Gallery through Wednesday, March 30.
Saturday, March 5 at noon, come to New World Comics and meet Artist Jerry Bennett & writer Charles J. Martin and have them sign your copies of #GlamorellasDaughter!
The jam-packed issue 4 wraps up Season 1, and New World will have issues 1-3 if you need to catch up on the all-ages story of Comet, the daughter of Earth's greatest defender, her mom Glamorella, her super-scientist dad, her best friend, and a dimensional portal!
Join us at 7pm this Saturday, March 5 to celebrate Paul Juhasz Writer's Page's new book of poetry, 'Ronin.'

In celebration of #WomensHistoryMonth, the team at Literati Press wanted to share some of the women who inspire us the most.
If you ask Tre for recommendations about who to study in the visual arts, he'll send you to Corita Kent every time. Corita gained popularity during the Pop Art movement of the '60s. Her visual language went on to inspire the social rights movements of the time and her work continues to be relevant to this day. In addition to being a working artist, she was a teacher at Immaculate Heart College. Her methods for teaching continue to inspire us today.#womeninhistory #history #art #arteducation #coritakent #womenshistory #herstory #changingwomenslives #womeninculture #women #womenempowerment #transformthefuture #inspiration #shapetheworld #education #womeninart #indiebookstore #bookstagram #shoplocal #bookstore #books #shopsmall #independentbookstore #booklover #bibliophile #bookshop #buylocal #reading #bookstoretreasures #bookish #supportindies #bookworm #localbookstore #literatipress #paseoartsdistrict #okc
Cinemarama Home Video designed this awesome #retroVHS cover for #RezDetectives!
Wouldn't it be cool if Tasembo, Nuseka, Billy Jack, and the gang had been a #SaturdayMorningCartoon in the 80s & 90s?

It's Monday, so #treatyoself.
Come get some lunch from one of the #paseoartsdistrict restaurants open on Monday (Picasso Cafe, Gorō Ramen, OSO Paseo, or Burger Punk) and then show us your receipt and you'll get 10% off your books!
The next Comic Book Club meets at 3pm, March 27! Be there or be 🟦
Had a great turnout yesterday :) Happy to see new faces! Join us next month for the next chapter of SAGA and we'll be adding a second comic book each month. In March we will be reading and discussing SAGA Chapter 57 and The Witch Boy by Molly Knox Ostertag.
Did you know we host a Comic Book Club?
This year they're discussing the new issues of Saga as they come out each month!
We've got them in the shop, and the cool thing is, since they're single issues, you can come in a bit before they meet at 3pm on the last Sunday of the month (today!), buy your copy, read it, and be ready for the discussion at 3!
We hate to do it, but the New World Comics parking lot is more fit for a Zamboni than cars, so we are postponing the #GlamorellasDaughter signing today.
We'll announce a new date soon.
Stay safe out there, OKC!
