First Look & Excerpt: Zippy: The Dingburg Diaries by Bill Griffith
Our latest Zippy the Pinhead collection is a hum-Dingburger! While lucky MoCCA Fest attendees were the first to be able to get their hands on Zippy: The Dingburg Diaries (and get it signed by Bill Griffith), for most of the world this is the first good gander at the 11th com-pin-dium, coming in June. It's a big, fat 232 pages of absurdity, non-sequiturs and satire, with 2 1/2 years of daily strips and full-color Sundays. Griffy's still firing on all cylinders and the strip is as great as ever — maybe better! — as these critics have attested regarding other recent Zippy volumes:…
MoCCA in photos – All the photos
MoCCA was a BLAST, as usual. PR Director, Jacq Cohen, and I showed up early on Friday to set up the table. People couldn't wait for Saturday, clumping around the new books. Our two newest EC Comics Library releases featuring Al Williamson and Jack Davis' work are creating a heartbreakingly beautiful rainbow. One side of the set-up table!

Cover Uncovered & Excerpt: Eye of the Majestic Creature Vol. 2 by Leslie Stein
Is Larrybear comics' new Manic Pixie Dream Girl? Nah, she's far too mellow. You'll fall in love with her all over again in the second volume of Leslie Stein's Eye of the Majestic Creature, at the printer now for availability in late June. This installment finds her having further adventures in the city and being courted by a flower-faced fella, and takes some looks back at her childhood and adolescence. And of course her walking, talking menagerie of musical instruments is along for the ride again. Critics called Vol. 1 "a treat," "cute and sad and familiar," "phenomenal," "irresistible," "a triumph," "such a pleasure"…
