Some Highlights from MoCCA 2009:

• David Mazzucchelli was the hit of the show. He was there on both Saturday and Sunday signing early copies of his new graphic novel, Asterios Polyp, and chatting with fans. We sold out of 100 advance copies so quickly that people were offering us huge sums of money just to “book” their copy before the signing. Apologies to anyone who wasn’t able to get their hands on a copy, but the book will be out in stores on 7/7 and you can preorder a copy here. Also, the retrospective is still happening at the MoCCA site and they are selling one-of-a-kind, signed ASTERIOS POLYP posters!
  
  
  
  
• Josh Neufeld stopped by and signed early galleys of his new graphic novel A.D., which is due out in stores 8/18! Preorder a copy here.


• Charles Burns visited our booth, as promised, and signed a bunch of copies of BLACK HOLE.


• I bought a copy of TRICKED by Alex Robinson - one of my favorite graphic novelists!
