OMG, Secret Acres Has Books!

OMG, SECRET ACRES HAS BOOKS, which you can even pick up and read if you’re around for MoCCA. Wormdye and Fatal Faux-Pas will finally be on sale, on Friday, June 6th at Desert Island (540 Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn). Desert Island is host to what will surely be the biggest MoCCA kickoff of all time: Secret Acres, Sparkplug Books and Bodega will be debuting five (yes, FIVE) new books. All of the artists will be showing up – and there will be beer. We’ll be starting at 6pm or so and going until 10pm (and then moving down the block). We expect all the best people to be there, especially you and yours.

Here are the awesome books that will premiere:

Windy Corner #2 by Austen English
Wormdye by Eamon Espey
Fatal Faux-Pas by Sam Gaskin
Neverland by Dave Kiersh
Inkweed by Chris Wright

As for the main, big, old MoCCA event itself: Secret Acres will be at table A75 on the Main Floor in the big room. The charming Eamon Espey and Samuel C. Gaskin will be signing Fatal Faux-Pas and Wormdye, or vice versa. We’ll have lots of mini-comics from all our guys, and, somewhere at MoCCA, you can get hold of the brand spanking new fourth issue of the Ignatz-winning series P.S. Comics from superstar Minty Lewis. In fact, Minty and Jospeh Lambert and Ken Dahl will all be in attendance; how many can you find?

Stalker.

Speaking of Mr. Dahl, Microcosm Books will be selling a collection of his early (but not primitive) work, entitled Welcome to the Dahlhouse. We highly recommend that you buy this book and refer to it often. We also insist you check out Xeric-award winner, and pal to Secret Acres, Colleen Frakes’s Tragic Relief, which will be available at tables C25 & C26 (Main Floor). Get familiar with Colleen. She likes that.

In Emporium news, we have Angee Lennard‘s latest issue of Mossdale Estate, Sean Ford‘s third issue of Only Skin, and a book of illustrations by Theo Ellsworth called Thought Cloud Shrines. We have also replenished our stock of Theo’s immensely popular Capacity #7.

If we say we’ve been “busy,” we’re making an understatement. We’re frazzled; we’re comics gone wild; we’re barely legal. But we do it all for you, so you have to at least come say hi. Don’t make us come over there.

Your Pals,

Barry and Leon
