Secret Acres is Escaping America

HAPPY THANKSGIVING from Secret Acres.

If you’re wondering if Secret Acres is spending the Thanksgiving holiday on a couch, watching football, digesting turkey and glaring at ill-mannered relatives, the answer is: No, sir! Secret Acres is escaping America and joining our Bodega friends in Montreal, Canada for EXPOZINE! Look for us there! Best American Comics 2008 contributor, Joseph Lambert, will be in attendance. We’ll be selling an expertly-curated selection of books, mini-comics and posters from the Emporium, bringing the light of fine American comics to the Great North.

Starting with this installment of Secret Acres news, we will be posting the news to our site (as always) and sending it out via email. You’ll only get an email with our news if you signed up to receive updates on the site (Hint: Scoll up. No, more to the left. You’re getting warmer, etc.). Speaking of the internets, Secret Acres is now officially on Facebook. You can come join our group! Click here. You can also join our friends over at Sparkplug Comic Books and Desert Island! We’re also listed on Google Books. You can browse our publications online, find library copies and order copies from fine online retailers.

Lest we forget, as the holidays descend upon us, we want to remind you that our very own Emporium is THE indie comics shopping destination on the world wide web. Ensuring that Christmas 2008 is the best Christmas ever, the Secret Acres Emporium will soon have copies of JB‘s latest installment of Curio Cabinet! It’s 36 gorgeous black-and-white pages of pure comics goodness (and yes, there are new “Cus Mommy Said So” strips featuring everyone’s favorite happy camper). For additional, exciting work by JB, check out the brand-new Kramer’s Ergot as well.

If all this digital stuff leaves you missing actual print, head to your local comics shop and if they don’t carry our books, let ’em know that they can get them through Diamond. Diamond Distribution will be featuring our very own Capacity by Theo Ellsworth as a spotlight title AND a staff pick. We would be filthy liars if we didn’t confess that we love all the attention we’re getting.

May you have the happiest of Thanksgivings and go ahead and overdo it with all the turkey (or tofurkey, if you must) and potatoes.

Your pals,

Leon and Barry
