Publishers Weekly interviews Todd DePastino about WILLIE & JOE: THE WWII YEARS by Bill Mauldin, perhaps the most extravagant package in our 32-year history of publishing.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our table at the 2008 MoCCA Art Festival this past weekend! Great turnout, incredible guests, an intense early-summer NYC heat wave, and a couple of visits from emergency service personnel made it a memorable show! Once I'm caught up with business here, I'll write up a full run-down with photos and a bit of video; in the meantime, you can spend a few seconds looking over some real-time text updates I sent to our Twitter page during the show..

I think is my favorite King card of them all, and the last one I have. Hope you enjoyed 'em!
