Neil Kleid: NYCC 2008 Being Scheduled For Passover Is “Frankly Insulting” The creator Neil Kleid has written an open letter to organizers of the New York Comic Con, explaining why Passover will keep Kleid and other observant creators from attending the show, and why beyond his own feeling about it this is deeply unfortunate. NYCC switched from a February show in its first two years to its current April 18-20 dates for 2008, a move one guesses to place the convention in a month more amenable for people wishing to visit New York and to place it more directly in the mainstream of the yearly convention calendar.
