“Kids” is an anthology of comics by some amazing people, all having to do in some way with children or childhood. We, the editors, (Jose-Luis and Melissa) have been thinking a lot about kids lately, and how we’re not kids anymore, and how maybe now we’re supposed to be grown-ups, so we decided to put this together.

A bunch of UK Indy people are coming to MoCCA and The Forbidden Planet International Blog Log has all the news:
Who’s going? A whole bunch of great comics folks who’ll be familiar to readers of the blog: Cliodhna Lyons, Ellen Linder, Sarah McIntyre, Darryl Cunningham and Accent UK’s Colin Mathieson and Dave West will be flying the flag and raising the bunting in their own British ‘Aisles’ corner at tables K10 to K12. Colin, who was kind enough to tip us off to which members of the Brit comics pack were NYC bound, also tells us that this will be the first time some of these creators will have sold their latest titles in the US, so MoCCA guests and fellow artists, please do check out their work (which we’ve featured many times right here) and give them a warm NYC welcome.

This year has been an exciting and dangerous time for my Little Garden Comics. I wrapped up the latest story on my website only to have the same site go down a few days later. To rectify this, I’m debuting the Little Garden story “LIZZIE’S TAIL” as an adorable 20 page minicomic at this weekend’s MoCCA Art Festival. From the internet to the papernet. I will be exhibiting at Table J-13 with L. Nichols and Jorge Diaz.

1) My new book THE DISGUSTING ROOM is available from Sparkplug Comicbooks. It will premiere at MOCCA in New York City. You can order it direct from the publisher, Sparkplug Comicbooks here:
It will be in finer bookstores within the next few months.
I’m very proud of this book—I’ve never felt so strongly about any piece of art I’ve made. I pushed myself very hard to make this work what it is, and I am very excited that it now exists in print. Thanks, once again, to Dylan Williams of Sparkplug for making this thing with me.
2. I’ve also launched a publishing company of my own called DOMINO BOOKS. We will be focusing on publishing comics and artists books. Our first release is artist Sakura Maku’s 24 page comic DARK TOMATO #1.
I have been following Maku’s work for years—her art has influenced my own in obvious ways. I love comics and I love working with other artists, so making this book with Sakura and launching DOMINO is something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time. DARK TOMATO will be available in early May, but we are accepting pre-orders now:
