This year Frank and I will be at MoCCA<\/a> in full force (NYC, April 10-11, Booth A19-20A).<\/p>\n

I will have all things PictureBox<\/a>, including the debut of our Charles Willeford<\/a> book, as well as Thurber\u2019s new 1-800 MICE 4<\/a>. There will also be the usual extra special items from everyone from Neal Adams<\/a> to Anya Davidson<\/a>. Yes, you read that correctly. Ask nicely and I\u2019ll show you the original pages for Real Deal<\/a> that will be for sale for the first time. Frank will have a fantastic selection of back issues for sale. Calling in from “the basement”, Santoro had this to say:<\/p>\n

\n

I now have a “Master’s Box”<\/a>: Kirby<\/a>, Mazzucchelli, Steranko<\/a>, Brown (Chester)<\/a>, Barks, McCarthy<\/a>, and, uh, Ditko! Plus other, lesser known masters like Ogden Whitney and Pete Morisi. You need Slash Maraud<\/a>? I got yer Slash Maraud<\/a>! You needa da Cold Heat<\/a>? I gotchooda Cold Heat! A new comic book costs at least 3 bux these days. I will have whole boxes of great stuff for 3 bux and under. Plus a “quarter box” – meaning each comic is only 25 cents! That’s right, True Believers, you thought it couldn’t happen in NYC but it’s happening. Finally some good, cheap comics for sale in the Big Apple!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019ll be debuting my own Art in Time: Unknown Comic Book Adventures 1940-1980<\/a> at the Abrams booth at 1 pm on Saturday with a signing by yours truly.<\/p>\n

Avant men Frank<\/a> and Dash<\/a> will be on a panel on Saturday at 12:45, moderated by Bill K. They’ll be discussing color and line and form. Go get your learn on.<\/p>\n

Peter Blegvad<\/a> will be at the PictureBox booth on Sunday, 4\/11, from 1 pm to 3 pm signing books. Don\u2019t miss this rare opportunity.<\/p>\n
