‘Local' comic book highlights Norman landmarks in new issue

NORMAN — Whether they are comic book fans or not, Norman residents may want to pick up the latest issue of “Local,” a 12-part comic book series published by Oni Press.

Issue No. 9, titled “Wish You Were Here,” features the University of Oklahoma’s Bizzell Memorial Library on the cover. Each issue of the series is a stand-alone short story set in a different town. Norman was chosen partly because of its strong support of the comic book industry, said Annette Price, owner of Speeding Bullet Comics, 614 N Porter Ave.

“They were looking for a small-town setting, and being a college town helped,” Price said.
