See You At MoCCA Art Fest!

John Ira Thomas — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 02:34:35 +0000

Carter, Will and I are off to NYC for the MoCCA Art Fest. We’ll be along one of the walls at table F33. The website says another table but we just got an email from them saying it’s F33, so that ought to lead to some initial fun.

15th Anniversary!

In one form or another, Candle Light Press has been making comics since 1995, when the minicomic SNAPSHOTS appeared in various places around Iowa City. Yeah, the cover says Jan 1996, but it was really late 1995. Time in publishing is really weird. Since then we’ve made all kinds of comics and graphic novels–take a peek at the store just to get a sense of it. Regardless, we’re calling this the fifteenth year and to celebrate we’re going to more cons than ever before.

We’re confirmed at Megacon, MoCCA Art Fest and C2E2. We’ll be getting things ready for the newly redubbed SpringCon (the beloved Fallcon shifted to avoid the NYCC juggernaut) and the Comic Book I-Con, as well as waiting on word on space from the aformentioned juggernaut New York Comicon. Individual CLP-ers are thinking/planning on solo appearances here and there as well; more as those materialize.

We’re also continuing last year’s practice of giving out con-exclusive postcards with art by various CLP artists. We only make so many and just give them away. It was very satisfying to see people walk by without making eye-contact do a 180 when the look at the card I just handed them. We’re also going to shift to a leaner and meaner table presence. We’ll be bringing a smaller variety of books and largely focussing on the con and online exclusive stuff. Since the rest is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc, it’s not as if you can’t get it elsewhere. And never mind the “meaner” part; heck ,we’ll be sweet as can be.

Emailing Us

FallCon 2009

Attila — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 06:44:00 +0000

Just getting things set up for the 2009 MCBA FallCon 2009 at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul coming up this weekend, Oct 10th and 11th. There will be exclusive cards for the first 200 people who visit our table. On one side we have the fabulously fashionable Nikki Harris hitting the center ice in the far future and on the other Walt, the badass business-minded backwoodsman from Lost In The Wash, having his day on the lake ruined by an old fiend.

Anyway, can’t wait to see you all in the Twin Cities!
