Tales of the Really White Vigilante Issue Release Party Tonight

Last month, we previewed the new graphic novel project by Austin artist Michael Schliefke, of Bolm Studios and one of the folks behind this weekend's E.A.S.T. Focusing on the development shenanigans happening on the eastside, Tales of the Really White Vigilante is narrated by a young man who, disguised behind a Mexican wrestling mask, aims to stop the gentrification of East Austin.

Tonight, Rio Rita Cafe y Cantina will host the release party for the debut issue of Really White Vigilante. "It's a fitting location," said Schliefke. "It not only appears at a pivotal point in the book, but 80% of the writing and 60% of the drawing was done on the premises over plenty of Dr Pepper, beer, pizza slices, and shots of whiskey."

You can pick up a copy of the 62-page tome for $15, and stick around to catch a special appearance by the Gentrification Bear.
