[...] IDW will be publishing four graphic novels by Darwyn Cooke based on the early books in the series of Parker novels by Richard Stark (aka Donald Westlake). The first GN is due out in mid-2009.

Why hold a press conference when you can also have the fans (and bloggers) as well. One could restrict questions to the press.
I have always preferred the National Press Club format: while the guest is speaking, the audience write their questions on cards, which are then reviewed and asked by the moderator.
Otherwise, I would hold the press conference in a bar, with appetizers.
