SAN JOSE, CA - November 12, 2008 - Ever wonder what lies beneath the
murkiest, seediest underbellies of the biggest cities? Comic Book
creator S. Eddy Bell wondered the same thing about San Francisco's
notorious Tenderloin district. He delved into the world of those that
live in the outskirts and found a surprisingly relatable story. "Every
night and every morning I pass by sex workers and drug dealers on my
way to work, coming home from the bar, going to the gym, whenever,"
says Bell, "it's hard to pass by these people everyday and not pick up
on stuff and wonder what their lives are like, to feel sympathy for
them and at the same time want to keep one's distance."
Bell's new graphic novel tells the funny and heartwarming tale of
Lulu and Mitzy: two best friends who happen to be living in the
Tenderloin as sex workers. The book's unusual set up may seem like a
hard sell, but Bell's highly relatable story puts faces to the
often-times anonymous underbelly of the sex industry. "It really is
kind of a love story about two very different people who need each
other," says Bell," it's about two young immigrant women who are
trying to get by in a rough existence any way they can and come to
realize that they complete each other."
Lulu & Mitzy creator S. Eddy Bell will be doing a book signing at the
grand opening of the SLG Publishing Comic Art Gallery and Boutiki on
Friday December 5th. Copies of his new book will be available for
purchase and part of the gallery will be devoted to a display of some
of his non-comic art. The gallery is located in downtown San Jose, CA.
Lulu and Mitzy: Best Laid Plans (ISBN 9781593621377) is currently
available from better comics and book retailers as well as online at
Amazon.com.
The SLG Art Boutiki & Gallery is located at 577 S. Market Street in
San Jose, CA. For more information about the signing, or to get a
review copy of Lulu & Mitzy and to schedule interviews with S. Eddy
