SPX (I’m a…)

WELL, well, well. It’s that time of year again. We swear, with MoCCA moved up (thankfully) and SPX so early, it seems time is moving faster and faster, until after a while you wouldn’t feel anything and then your body would just burst into fire.

Walk with us to SPX where we will have some choice goodies. We will have these darn beauties of Theo Ellsworth prints. We will have the ever lovely and reborn Capacity. Most importantly, we will have a super guest star at the table: the astonishing Lisa Hanawalt. If you’re not familiar with her comics, we can remedy that down in beautiful Bethesda, MD. If you can’t make it to the big show, check out her site, but be warned as you may go broke. If you’re wondering about the rest of the gang of Acres, yes, godlike genius and Murdaland local legend Eamon Espey will haunt the joint and Ignatz (and Eisner) nominee Ken Dahl will be looking for that (second) brick. Monsters has already won an Ignatz, but an embarrassment of riches is fine with us.

Speaking of embarrassing ourselves, the much delayed I Will Bite You!, and the never before delayed Gaylord Phoenix are, you guessed it, delayed. Now, before you scratch our eyes out, I Will Bite You! will be our superdeluxe production for MoCCA in the spring – and the epic Gaylord Phoenix is landing for the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival, which, come on, is not really that far away. If you can’t wait, or if you don’t believe us, check this out. See.

Biting you or not, go holla at Joe Lambert and fellow Secret Acre Sean Ford at the Sundays and One Percent Press tables, where they promise to have a “pretty great” anthology, edited by Joe himself. Indeed, we know you want Only Skin 6. It’s facken ginormous and yet another reason to head to BCGF, but first things first.

If you can’t make it down to the show, you can always pre-order the new Capacity in the Emporium. But please, stop paying two hundred smackers for it on half.com. Seriously.

We will back shortly with our SPX report and other things. See you on the other side (or at SPX).

Your Pals,

Barry and Leon
