I Know Joe Kimpel at APE, table 217!

Thursday, October 30th, 2008
We’ve been working hard, getting ready for APE!

…here’s what I spent the last month doing. Folding and binding mini comics.


This week I created letterpress covers for my new mini comic, Woman King, which will be debuting at the Alternative Press Expo this weekend, November 1st and 2nd. Woman King is 16 pages, 6 x 3.5″, $2. It continues the story of the little girl adopted by a sleuth of bears that first appeared in I Know Joe Kimpel’s 2nd 4-Square Anthology, No.

NO!
Of course, we’ll have plenty of copies of No for sale. No contains new work by Jon Chad, Morgan Pielli, Lauren O’Connell, and me, Colleen Frakes. 7×7″, 60 pages, b+w interiors with a silkscreen cover, a bargain at $6!

The other mini I’m debuting at APE this year isn’t so “mini”, Giant Size Tragic Relief is a collection of issues #2-7 of the Tragic Relief comics. 85. x 11″ and 52 pages. It’s available right now from I Know Joe Kimpel.

Emily's New Book
Besides me, there will also be three other Center for Cartoon Studies alumni at APE representing I Know Joe Kimpel. Emily Wieja will be there with her new book Huck and The Snake. 6″ x 6″, 8 pages, $2. Emily’s description of the book, “My high school english teacher told us that anything longer than it is wide in literature is a phallic symbol.”

Amelia
Denis St. John will have a new issue of Monsters and Girls, perfect for Halloween!

Lauren
And Lauren O’Connell will be there, hopefully with some of her Thrillsville and Fancy Clue comics!

Hope to see you at the show! I’ll be with I Know Joe Kimpel at table #217.
