A WonderCon Weekend

We had a marvelous time at the WonderCon convention in San Francisco this past weekend! The show was strongly attended and well organized, and it was such a pleasure to interact with all the artists and attendees.

Comics legends Sergio Aragones, Nick Cardy, Gene Colan, Al Feldstein, Jeph Loeb and many others were in attendance, as were talents like Patrick McDonnell, Matt Busch, Linda Medley, and so many more!

We had a record weekend, and there were definitely some standouts that everyone wanted to get their hands on. Topping our list was a newly imported book by Sergio Toppi, Bab El Ahlam -- unfortunately, it was so popular that we ran out and it will be a few more weeks until it's available for order -- keep an eye on our website and weekly emails!

Claire Wendling was also as popular as ever, and our new imports by Miguelanxo Prado, Guillaume Sorel, François Boucq, Vittorio Giardino, and John Howe also generated a lot of interest. New EC Archives were hot sellers, and Doc Savage, The Shadow, and Robert E. Howard's books were top draws. Digital Art was a popular genre, and everyone wanted Mutts stuff so they could get it signed by Patrick McDonnell. Signed Sketchbooks by Frank Cho, Dean Yeagle, Chris Sanders and Eric Powell sold like hotcakes, and Illustration and ImageS magazines were must-haves.

We also picked up some new goodies, which we'll tell you more about later. One of our favorites that's now in stock is The Art of Animal Character Design by David Colman. This thick hardcover is quite a treat. Signed by the artist, its incredible animals bring to mind great artists like Claire Wendling. Very appealing!
