Director, actor, comic book man Kevin Smith has been making the rounds in Tucson ahead of his appearance at the Rialto Theatre this Friday.

Smith has been popping up live and in-person at points around town over the past week, with photos to prove it.

Among the shots that have circulated: A selfie with Frank Brinsley, host of "The World Famous Frank Show," on Brinsley's Twitter feed; a forehead shot on Smith's Twitter feed with the Rialto marquee in the background; and just today, a photo of Smith with Ronnie Spece and Kade Mislinski, owners of Batch, the downtown doughnut and whiskey shop.

Smith's show on Friday begins at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased through the Rialto website.
