Table-mate and Candy Blondellcreator Luisa Felix took this photo of me at our table at MoCCA Fest 2012. In the front are my comics Blaster Al Ackerman’s Tales of the Ling Master, behind which is my mature-readers one-shot A Beautiful Young Nymph Going To Bed, based on the Jonathan Swift poem of the same name. A customer is browsing my latest, the all-ages historical one-shot, Caroline’s Catalog. At the lower right of the picture is a color drawing of Luisa’s character Candy Blondell.
Various Boston Comics Roundtable members, including myself, will be participating in Hub Comics’s Free Non-Superhero Comic Book Day this Saturday, 19 May, starting 11am and running into early evening. BCR members will be signing copies of Riverbird Studios horror anthology Hellbound #2. I’ll be there from 1 to 2 PM that afternoon, signing Hellbound (in which I have a story) and my own comic Caroline’s Catalog, a historical comic about astronomer Caroline Herschel.
Hub Comics is at 19 Bow Street in Somerville’s Union Square, and is easily accessible by MBTA bus. Free Non-Superhero Comic Book Day is Hub Comics’s special effort to stretch Free Comic Book Day through the whole month of May with special events every Saturday of the month.

This Saturday, 5 May, Free Comic Book Day, I’ll be signing copies of the newly-released trade paperback edition of Hellbound #2 from Noon to 1pm at the Million Year Picnic in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA. I’ll be part of a Slugger’s Row of Boston Comics Roundtable artists and writers doing signings at the Picnic that day, so if you can’t catch me during my small window of opportunity, come on by anyway and get your signatures from my esteemed colleagues. And pick up some of the specially marked Free Comic Book Day Free Comics.
On 27 March 2012, I gave a talk about Cagliostro in Kurland at the Annual Meeting of the Latvian Palace and Manor Association in Riga, Latvia. Thanks to LPMA manager Iveta Piese for arranging not only this opportunity for me to share information on my in-progress graphic novel, but my visits to Vilce Manor, Jaunpils Castle, and the home of retired scholar Vitolds Masnovskis. This photo is of Iveta (left) and me on the day of the Annual Meeting, 27 March 2012.
Thanks also to Culture and Arts Project NOASS in Riga for honoring me with an artist’s residency through the month of March 2012.
