The Never-Ending, Four-Color Festival: Shows And Events

By Tom Spurgeon

* Robert Boyd writes about curating a show of Scott Gilbert's work. I'm a fan of Gilbert's work, so I'm glad to see him receive this attention.

* I'm dying to go to Detroit's Comique Con, even though I'm exhausted from last weekend's CXC. That's a great show focus, and you get to eat in Detroit. If my car is running by then, I'll seriously consider the trip.

* NYCC claims record attendance, in part because of how they sold individual versus group tickets. The energy of its audience is the 1A in that show's skill set, with the #1 being its proximity to New York publishing and media. The Artist's Alley there will always be packed and always be hopping, or at least should be for the next several years. It's hard to imagine that people doubted how well an NYC pop-culture type convention would do.

* Short Run has a full schedule of its main and ramp-up events here.

* finally, I missed that Dame Darcy did a poster for this year's CAB.
