Ballyhoo special edition to premiere at Fantasticon!

Tea here. Hey, we got some exciting stuff to talk about!

First off, it was quite a treat to see some of the original Ballyhoo pages (ranging from rough sketch to final page) on display at UW-Parkside (in Kenosha, WI). Ballyhoo was featured alongside three other Wisconsin comic creators as part of a bigger comic art show featuring work by/ from the collection of Denis Kitchen, comic art guru who was born, raised, and began his comic empire in Wisconsin.

It is quite an understatement to say it was thrilling to have Ballyhoo on display a short walk down the hall from the work of Kitchen, R. Crumb, Will Eisner, and Al Capp.

Now for some more great news. David is almost done with the Ballyhoo art. We have not yet begun the process of trying to find a publisher, but meanwhile we will be creating a limited addition run of the finished first issue! This will premiere at Milwaukee’s own comic con FANTASTICON (website HERE) which takes place next week, October 24-26. David will be tabling for the weekend and I’ll be hanging around quite a bit, too.

We will be tabling with Ballyhoo (and our respective other projects) again November 8 at Milwaukee Zine Fest (website HERE).

This is really exciting folks, run outside and tell everyone you see walking down the street!
