In celebration of the 20th-anniversary of SCOTT PILGRIM, Oni Press has announced the dates and participating retailers for the upcoming Scott Pilgrim 20th Anniversary Signing Tour.

“Everyone knows I hate leaving the house,” said O’Malley regarding his excitement for the upcoming tour. “But I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get out and meet fans and celebrate the 20th anniversary together. I can’t get everywhere, but I tried to pick places I haven’t been in a while or have never been at all. I’m looking forward to it!”
The celebration will coincide with the release of several newly designed and remastered items including a SCOTT PILGRIM 20th ANNIVERSARY BOX SET collection that’s available in comic and book stores starting on August 28th.
