MoCCA

[avram]

Back from MoCCA, and I am exhausted and my feet hurt. But I enjoyed myself. Went to a panel for the first time — the Saturday afternoon one about the Mome anthology. Ran into, let’s see, tinpan, meritahut, sw_inku, Carol Pinchefsky, Liz Gorinsky. Hey, bugsybanana, Meritahut publishes SPQR Blues, a comic about ancient Rome, on her LJ.

OK, here’s this year’s haul:

Books

• Skellington, the 3rd Scary Go Round collection
• Now You’ve Done It, a Creatures in My Head collection
• Contents #2 by Gia-Bao Tran, with whom I also did a bit of brushpen geeking
• Out of Picture, a beautiful, oversized, high-quality anthology comic by a bunch of artists who work at Blue Sky Studios

Floppies

• Red by Elizabeth Genco, Kevin Colden, and Miss Lasko-Gross
• Gin 747 #0, an anthology of mini-comics
• The Industry by Kiki Jones
• Oz Squad #1-9, and Little Oz Squad, by Steve Ahlquist and various artists, even though I already had like three or four of these issues, just so I’d know I had them all in one place. Ahlquist was sold out of #10, but he said he’d mail me one, since I’d bought all the others, thus establishing that he is a god among men. He also says he’s working on getting a trade collection out, and (I think he said) starting the series up again.
• Wigu: The Case of the Missile Crisis! by Jeffrey Rowland

Minis

• An untitled print collection by Tintin Pantoja (aka tinpan)
• Jellaby #2 by Kean Soo, and Jellaby, The Homage Series, a set of color prints by a variety of artists
• The Tenth Life of Pishio the Cat by Zack Giallongo
• Hey, 4-Eyes! #2, an anthology comic that I’d put in Books if it were bound instead of held together with a rubber band
• Hats by Vasilis Lolos
• Heaster & Galatea by Chari Pere
• Conscious by Mike Zagari
• Some stapled-together thing whose title I can’t even read, but hey, it was free
• Nonsequiteria by John Peters
• A whole handful of tiny minis that I got handed for free on Sunday, mostly Sparrow’s Fall by Baker, but also one called Mine to Make by Bonnie Leigh
• Brendan Comics #1 by Brendan Burford

I’m starting to get kinda arbitrary about what goes into which category.

On Friday I went back to my last two MoCCA entries and assembled all of my lists into a printout I could take with me to make sure I didn’t buy anything I already had.
