Conundrum Press to Debut 3 Books at MOCCA New York
:: Posted by Bryan @ 6/14/2007 12:02:00 AM According to the MoCCA preview in this month's Comics Journal, a number of Canadian publishers and cartoonists will be represented at the MoCCA Arts Festival in New York, June 23-24. Conundrum Press is launching 3 Spring titles: Little Lessons in Safety by Emily Holton, Hello Me Pretty by Line Gamache, and Monster Island vol 3, edited by Billy Mavreas. I spent my last dollar on the last Monster Island volume at the last TCAF and quite enjoyed it. Several artists who publish through Condundrum will also be on hand.
Other Canadians on hand include Steff Lenk, Ryan North and Willow Dawson.
If you will be appearing at MoCCA (or any con) or publishing a book, please let Sequential know.)

Other Canadian content included in the latest Comics Journal is a review of the first 3 Scott Pilgrim books. Once upon a time, I used to think that a graphic novel review in the Journal was equivalent in importance to a New York Times review for a novel, but I'm not sure I think that anymore, despite the fact that the Journal is still the most comprehensive magazine about English-language comics that I know of.
(This issue of the Journal also reprints a "classics illustrated-style" adaptation of John Buchan's 39 Steps. The Canadian connection here is that Buchan, as Lord Tweedsmuir, was Governor General of Canada from 1935-1940 and founded the Governor General's Awards.)Labels: events, graphic novels, international, publishing
