It’s all blurry and hastily framed, but that up there is the only picture we have to remember MOCCA by. It was pretty fun and we met all kinds of nice people, and we now have a new assortment of nice work by nice people to show for it: Jesse Lonergan‘s high flyer no.1 (picked up at the Boston Comics Roundtable table), something called MOGMAN by Gustavson/Peck, and a really cool concertinatically unfolding silk-screened artist book by Kim Ku, called “Under The Sea.”
I, Jesse, am now resettled at home here in Oakland, but Veronica’s going on to TCAF, to Ontario’s Toronto, to sizably deepen her 2012 comic book festival memories. She’ll be sharing table 114, May 5 and May 6.
Incidentally, the 3rd edition of the first Scaffold comic is in the shop. The indexing has changed because we rethought the way certain pages should be panelized and counted, plus we added some altogether new pages/panels. So it used to be I – XII and now it’s I – XXII. Anyway, the new one will hopefully establish a precedent for all future issues in that there’s a chromatically iterable cover design and a bookmark/map attached to the back (see some pictures to get the idea). The second issue (XXIII – XLIV) will be available in the shop either this week or next.
