2024 Summer of Signings 4: Samuel Sattin for UNICO: AWAKENING

  • Comix Experience 305 Divisadero Street San Francisco, CA, 94117 (map)

It’s a spectacular Summer of Signings with four special events just for you!

Our cycle concludes on Saturday, August 24th, from 2-4 PM with writer Samuel Sattin for UNICO: AWAKENING, which tells the incredible story of a young unicorn who, after enraging the evil goddess Venus, is banished from the heavens and forgets all he once was. Befriended by a resourceful watch cat, Chloe, who feels protective of the young unicorn, they find themselves near a small village in the forest, taking refuge with a kindly, but helpless, old woman. To take care of her, Chloe begs Unico to turn her into a human girl, but that act of kindness has unforeseen consequences: Unico's love has awakened Venus and her minion, Byron, who want to destroy them both!  Conceived anew by author Samuel Sattin and artist team Gurihiru, and developed in collaboration with Tezuka Productions, UNICO: Awakening is a groundbreaking reboot of a beloved story by Astro Boy creator Osamu Tezuka, the "God of Manga."

Samuel will be joined by a special conversation with Thien Pham!
