Every once in a while you are surprised and enchanted by something that you never thought you would enjoy, and you love it all the more because it’s an unexpected love. That’s what happened when I stepped off the Bolt Bus into the fantastic madness that is New York City.
I am Peter Venkman, raising my arms to the sky and shouting “I love this town!”
As for MoCCA, it was great. Long time internet friends became real life, we’re-eating-hambrgers-together friends. I met a lot of fellow First Second authors and artists. And, of course, I brought home a modest stack of great comics! Those include:
Jellaby Shorts by Kean Soo
Take Out minicomics by Raina Telgemeier
Never Learn Anything from History by Kate Beaton
Korgi, book 2, by Christian Slade (a highly recommended silent comic)
Mail Order Ninja by Joshua Elder and Erich Owen
Special thanks to First Second’s Gina Gagliano for being SO HELPFUL.
