RUN<\/span> for your life to Mama Says Comics Rock<\/a>! You read that right: MSCR, Brooklyn’s newest funny book emporium plays host to the newest horse in the\u00a0Secret Acres’ table, Reid Psaltis<\/a>, and our old boy, Brendan Leach<\/a>, TONIGHT. The fun starts at 6PM, so prepare for refreshments and a double dose of our two latest books, appearing for the first time anywhere in public. We love a good couple of debuts, sure, but lest we forget the occasion for such hijinks, MSCR is sending us all on our way to SPX<\/a>, aka Comics Camp, aka the Small Press Expo, the big show happening this very weekend.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned Mr. Psaltis takes his first-ever road trip with us, to bring\u00a0his first-ever book, the Order of Things<\/a>, <\/em>to Bethesda.<\/em>\u00a0We never knew how dumb we were about animals until checking out this badass bestiary. Reid drops a lot of science here, which comes as no surprise since he got his learn on at\u00a0the\u00a0science illustration graduate program at California State University –\u00a0Monterey Bay, and that was after acquiring a BA in oil painting. Be dazzled by his skills, but pay attention, because Reid pulls a fast one or twelve. By the time you remember raptors don’t eat ramen, you’re done for. Laugh and learn, people.<\/p>\n

Then shed a tear for a pterodactyl, with the oversized, hardcover, spot glossy return of Pterodactyl Hunters in the Gilded City<\/em><\/a>. Brendan Leach’s classic tale lands somewhere between the Red Badge of Courage<\/em> and Long Day’s Journey Into Night<\/em>, but with a flock of pterodactyls terrorizing turn of the century New York. This flight of fancy lands in familiar territory; even psychologists will envy Brendan’s ability to put the family drama in fantasy. Harpoon gunning a pterodactyl from a hot air balloon looks easy after dealing with a disappointed dad. A Xeric grant-funded, newsprint version of Pterodactyl Hunters<\/em> won the SPX Ignatz Award for Outstanding Comic a couple years back. What better place for its rebirth?<\/p>\n

Another Ignatz Award winner returns to the scene of the crime this SPX weekend. Gabby Schulz<\/a>, winner of two Ignatz Awards for his graphic novel, Monsters<\/em><\/a>, makes his way back to the Secret Acres tables, with Sick<\/em><\/a>. Sick<\/em> garnered Gabby yet another\u00a0Ignatz nomination, this time for Outstanding Graphic Novel. We beg you to vote for it, and believe us, we’d keep our mouths shut because Gabby hates all civic duty, but Sick<\/em> is truly outstanding, and it is a graphic novel. Get to SPX and make your voice heard. Democracy in action and all that.<\/p>\n

See you tonight, see you at the show and then we’ll see you back here in a week!<\/p>\n

Your Pals,<\/p>\n
