In this week’s slightly late edition of PWCW, Douglas Wolk provides his MoCCA report:
MoCCA’s audience is more of a fine art crowd than most other conventions’, and the bags shoppers were carrying around at the show were as full of limited-edition prints and objets d’art as they were of books, comics and minicomics. But the mainstream comics world is now starting to build bridges to the festival’s art comics, too: Wizard magazine, the comics fan and trade publication, and the new magazine-about-comics, Comic Foundry, and even DC’s Vertigo and Minx imprints had a booth in the upstairs hall, where creators Percy Carey (Sentences) and G. Willow Wilson (Cairo) put in appearances. Some popular tables featured cartoonists who straddle the mainstream and indie worlds, including writer Brian Wood, artists Cameron Stewart, Zander Cannon, Rick Veitch and Becky Cloonan, who debuted “Minis,” a collection of her early work.
There’s even a nice little photo diary. Also in this week’s edition: Brigid Alverson writes about Gon being republished; Will Moss talks to Rob G and Rick Spears about their new series, Repo; Moss also talks to Eddie Campbell (part one); Kai-Ming Cha talks to the folks at Go! Comi; and Trevor Soponis talks to Mike Allred.
