Back to the Big Apple

I’m not entirely sure how it happened, but somehow New York Comic-Con is once again upon us. I’ll be at the convention again this year, signing copies of Fraggle Rock and helping to promote The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths. I’m currently scheduled for three signings, but you never know…a few more may be added before the show’s over and done with. Here’s the current lineup:

Friday, October 14th

5:30-7:00 p.m.

Saturday, October 15th

10:00-11:00 a.m.

Sunday, October 16th

11:30-12:30 p.m.

All three signings will be in the Archaia booth (#1546). If you’re going to be at the show, stop by and say hi. I’d love to see you.

That’s if I can actually make it onto the show floor. When it comes to conventions, anyone who says procrastination is your friend is probably just trying to ensure they’re able to get tickets. I waited too long to register for the show, and now pro registration is sold out. As a result, I’m currently without a badge.

Fortunately, it looks like Archaia may have an extra badge for me. If not, well…I’ve always wanted to see the Statue of Liberty.

Hope to see you all there!

My NYCC Schedule

For those of you who haven’t seen the tweets and status updates, I’m going to be at New York Comic-Con this weekend. My main reason for going is to catch up with all of my east coast industry friends, but I’ll be doing a lot to promote Fraggle Rock while I’m there.

We’ll have copies of the first volume hardcover in the Archaia booth for those of you who haven’t picked up the hardcover yet (and I know there are a lot of you, so get to it, will ya?). Knowing Archaia, they’ll probably be running a great show special as well, so NYCC will be a really good opportunity to pick up Fraggle Rock and some other excellent comics for much less than you’d pay in stores and get them signed by the creators to boot. Aren’t cons wonderful things?

And for those of you interested in finding me, I’ll be signing copies of Fraggle Rock in the Archaia booth (#2031) with a variety of contributing writers and artists at the following times:

Friday, October 8th 4:00-5:30 p.m.
Saturday, October 9th 10:00-11:30 a.m.
Sunday, October 10th 2:30 p.m.-however late I can stay

I’m also going to be on the Archaia All Ages panel on Sunday from 12-1 p.m.

Here’s the description:
