It’s not exactly new, but my CD “Four-Color Heroes!” which is dedicated to and inspired by several comics legends – including Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and Steve Gerber, to whom the whole CD is dedicated – will be available for free at MoCCA, at the Jack Kirby Museum booth. “Four-Color Heroes!” was recently recommended in the Seattle Times’ “Best Jazz CDs of 2009.”

I don’t know how many copies they will have on hand, but there will also be postcards with download codes in case they run out. The codes are good for a Download plus CD for $1 plus shipping.

We’ll also have work from Deryk Ouseley and Mara Sternberg (who will also be attending the show). Overall, we’ll have buttons, cards, books, prints…it’ll be pretty wild.

Craig Yoe writes:

“Dan DeCarlo’s Jetta” debuts at the great MoCCA fest and is the first time all the futuristic, sexy, teenage Jetta comics from the 1950s have been collected in their entirety and in a full-color hardback. Only a very limited number of books, flown in from the Orient (weeks before regular distribution) will be available from Yoe Books, an imprint of IDW (booth #E35). Jetta debuted a decade before Judy Jetson and was drawn by the brilliant Dan DeCarlo, famed for setting the “house-style” for Betty and Veronica and co-creating Josie and the Pussycats and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Thirty-seven master pinup artists provide full color, full page pinups in tribute to Dan and Jetta including Dean “Mandy” Yeagle, Craig “Powerpuff Girls” McCracken and Bill “Simpsons Comic Books” Morrison. Craig Yoe’s revealing introduction is loaded with unpublished art by DeCarlo. This is the first book of “The Good Girl Art Library”. Other brand new books Yoe will be signing include “The Complete Milt Gross Comic Books and Life Story (“Wonderful!”—Playboy), “Krazy and Ignatz in Tiger Tea” (Highly enjoyable!”—New York Examiner and “The Great Antiwar Cartoons” (“Powerful!”—Illustration Magazine).

Some of this stuff looks wild.

Ken Wong, will debut a new Origami Comics (table F-37), “his newest and most fascinating folded format comic: “FLEXAGON!” an endless adventure starring Captain Rex Flexagon, his partner Lt. Polly Gonigal and arch-nemesis Dr. Zon.” Like Wong’s two previous Origami Comics (“PANDORA’S BOX” and “SCHRODINGER’S CAT”), FLEXAGON!” is a clever melding of form and function that explores new ways of comics storytelling.

Bill Roundy writes:

First, I’ve got three new mini-comics for sale: “Brood” a gay vampire romance; “Kiss Me Beneath the Christmas Tree” about a lonely schoolboy on winter break, and “The Amazing Adventures of Bill #12”, the latest collection of my journal comic

Second! I will be sketching! On Saturday from 1-2pm, I’ll be at the MoCCA table drawing any silly thing you want for $25.
All money goes to the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art.

Third! An art exhibit of my comics opens at the School of Visual Arts on Monday, April 13! It’s on display until May 3, Monday-Fridays 9am-7pm, Saturdays 10am-6pm, at 209 East 23rd St. (btw Second and Third Aves), in the hallway on the first floor.

Finally! I don’t get a reception for this exhibit (something about hallways being too narrow for crowds of people), but I’m encouraging people to view the artwork sometime between 6:30 and 8pm on Thursday, April 15, and then adjourn to The Globe, a pub one block away (158 E. 23rd St.), where I will join them for beverages.
