We currently have about 20 copies of Seeds left, out of the 300 we printed in September. Look at us go! We expect those copies to be gone by year’s end, and plan to reprint for the spring. If you want one of those copies and can’t make it to this weekend’s events, hurry over to Trees & Hills Comics Distro: http://www.treesandhills.org/distro/2008/10/29/seeds/. We are proud to announce that Seeds is also available online through Microcosm Publishing (http://www.microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/zines/2664/) and Parcell Press (http://www.parcellpress.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=215 - look at that nice photo!).

Rick Lowell of Casablanca Comics sends exciting news for the spring: “The Maine Comic Arts Festival will be held in Portland on May 17th, 2009. This event is intended to be very much like SPX and APE by focusing on creators/ writers/ artists and publishers. It will be held at the beautiful Ocean Gateway Center overlooking Casco Bay … We will be working with the Maine College of Art and the Portland Public Library as well as other local arts organizations. We are working on the website for the festival and will start with registrations soon. The blog for our event is up: http://mecaf.blogspot.com/ The website will follow soon. … We are also on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=48705984560 Trees & Hills will certainly have a table as soon as they are available.
