Art Comix

Secret Acres presents a very amazing new book at this weekend's show:

The response to our call for new books at this weekend's Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Fest was incredible and overwhelming, with new work by Kim Deitch, Jason Little, Austin English, Mark Alan Stamaty, and MANY MORE. We're still sorting through it. Consider this only part 1! Bring a full wallet.

As we head off for a weekend of rest and relaxation work and transcribing, a reminder: we've already gotten some notes of books coming out just for the Brooklyn Comics And Graphics Festival, but...

The boys are on tour to promote Powr Mastrs and If 'n' Oof. Tonight, The Strand. Tomorrow, Portland, OR and Fraction at Floating World..

The Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival has announced all its programming and several satellite events, including a showing of rare films and two art openings. In addition Françoise Mouly has joined as a guest and will speak. How on earth are you supposed to run around and buy comics AND go to all these interesting panels?

The Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Fest is fast coming, and many books will debut there, just in time for gift giving, including, SPOTTING DEER by Michael DeForge which is coming from Koyama Press.

This weekend, among a plethora of worldwide comics events, the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco is surely the premiere event for alt and indy comics. Headlined by Dan Clowes and Lynda Barry that's probably enough right there, but why stop -- other guests include Megan Kelso, Tony Millionaire, Renée French, Tommy Kovac, Rich Koslowski, and more. If it were less than a plane ride away, we'd be there in a heartbeat.

And speaking of the small press, Canadian Koyama Press is making a name as a real force on the scene with a series of high-quality books. They're having a launch for two more next week in Toronto:
