SECRET ACRES is very happy to inform you that Ken Dahl<\/a>‘s Monsters<\/em><\/a> is hot off the press and ready to fester and multiply inside you. We’ll be debuting the book at the magnificent Desert Island<\/a> in Brooklyn, New York, on Thursday, September 24th. The flithy-yet-appealing Ken Dahl will be signing books and doodling while Secret Acres plies you with beer and temporary (or so we are told) tattoos. Your mother may be appalled, but it\u2019s your lfe.<\/p>\n

On Friday, September 25th, we’ll be at Atomic Books<\/a> in Baltimore for the second annual SPXplosion. If you were there for the last one, you probably don\u2019t remember it, but there were at least a dozen people reading, a couple of bands, an assault, booze and we think a dog show. If you missed it last time, well, here\u2019s your chance to get wet on the way to SPX<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Saturday and Sunday finds us at ye olde SPX, which is still in its usual home at the North Bethesda Mariott, god bless it. It\u2019s climate controlled; everyone knows where everything is; there\u2019s no escape – it\u2019s prefect. In addition to Ken and Monsters, we’ll have Eamon Espey<\/a> sporting his new signed, limited print \u201cEndless Summer,\u201d<\/a> Theo Ellsworth<\/a>\u2019s Sleeper Car<\/em><\/a> will make its con debut and Samuel C. Gaskin will have brand new t-shrits (which, if you were at MoCCA<\/a> with us, you know is a bold advance for him).<\/p>\n

That is an awful lot for a weekend, but before we take a nap, you should know that: Ken Dahl has a new website – check it out here<\/a>! More PS Comics<\/em><\/a> reviews have come in! Check out Pop Candy’s generous words here<\/a>. Sleeper Car<\/em>‘s first reviews have arrived courtesy of Rob Clough<\/a> and Optical Sloth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t make it to SPX we\u2019ve got Eamon\u2019s “Endless Summer” print ready to ship in the Emporium<\/a>. If you live in Chicago you can buy “Endless Summer” at Quimby’s<\/a>. If you live in New York City, “Endless Summer” is available at Forbidden Planet<\/a> and Jim Hanley’s Universe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Secret Acres does have a small spot of bad news. We’re sorry to announce that Joseph Lambert<\/a>‘s collection, I Will Bite You! has been delayed to 2010, which does indeed bite. Make no mistake – it will be worth the wait, and you will proudly show everyone the teeth marks. If you want to complain or confess something to him, you may do so here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once we have all recovered from SPX, we’ll be back at you with the scoop on all of the comics-related awesomeness you can expect from us in 2010. 2010. It\u2019s like the future. We\u2019re old. Sigh.<\/p>\n

Your pals,<\/p>\n
