New York Comic Con 2013 Photos

York ComicCon 2013 came and went, it was a blast and THE BEHOLDER loved seeing all the happy faces. Thanks for coming by and supporting my work! See you at the next show!

THE BEHOLDER at New York Comic Con 2013

Last year The Beholder had a truly great time at New York ComicCon Artist Alley, so he'll be back again this year! It's all going down next week, Thursday through Sunday, Oct 10-13th.

This time there will be some reinforcement. Besides my human pawn Paul Hoppe, Dr Brain will be present, as a large print, so you can easily find our table. But just in case: We will be at table BB5 of Artist Alley.

Besides all the currenct BEHOLDER mini-comics (Journey Into Misery 1-5, Tales To Behold 1-3), there will also be books for children and once again some delectable prints of cityscapes and ruins.

Something for everyone!

And besides his own table, Paul will do a signing at the Random House Booth on the Main Floor, Sunday 2-3pm, with the graphic novel PEANUT.

New York Comic Con is being held at the Javits Center (655 West 34th Street) in Midtown Manhattan,  from Oct 10-13th. This year NYCC Artist Alley will be returning to the North Pavilion of the Javits Center.

Reprinting Mini-Comics

So much Misery! Reprinting mini-comics for the busy fall events: New York Comic Con, my solo-show at the German Consulate NY, and Comic Arts Brooklyn!

Banner for NY Comic Con 2013

I'll be at New York Comic Con's Artist Alley again this year, (Oct 10th-13) and also at the fabulous Comic Arts Brooklyn (Nov 9th). In addition, there will be a large solo-show at the German Consulate.

To celebrate all this, I created this dynamic image  for a large banner. It's in production now, I hope this will turn out ok!

This way you'll find me easily! Hope to see you!

The Beholder at MOCCA Festival New York

BEHOLD! The latest book in the series is coming to earth this weekend, at the famous MoCCA Art Festival in the city called New York. Journey Into Misery 5 brings many revelations, some death and destruction, and many of the characters from previous books. The Cosmic Solution hits earth, and it is up to our beloved heroes to defend this planet.

All other BEHOLDER Books will be available as well, so you can complete your collection. Journey Into Misery 1 & 5 will even have limited variant covers, just like every other book in the 90s. As usual, the editions are handmade and each cover is a photocopy on colored paper, with additional color as block prints on them.

Precious prints and other books will be available as well, including this mortal's graphic novel PEANUT,
so come by, come all!

Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Fest Report

I had a lot of fun at the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Fest last weekend. It was my first time "flying solo" at this event, I was so grateful to be invited! And so many people came; plenty of friends and colleagues visited my table, and even people I had just met at NY ComicCon came back. Besides my mini-comics, children's books and prints, I had an advance copy of my forthcoming graphic novel Peanut with me.

I am happy to say that sales-wise, this was the single most successful day at any of the festivals I attended this year (MoCCA, NY ComicCon, and the small but very cool Prints Alive). It's especially exciting to meet people who already know some of my Beholder Comics and are coming back for more! That means a lot to me.

With Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons!

A familiar set-up… with some new wares!

  

Fellow cartoonist Anuj Shrestha brought me lunch. Thanx Anuj!

View of the upstairs, were my table was (yes, it's a gym!)

The three cover variations of the brand-new Tales To Behold 3

Good bye BCGF 2012, it was a blast and I am so happy that I could be part of it! Thanks to Gabe, Dan and Bill for putting together another amazing festival!

Tales To Behold #3 for the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival

Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival is this weekend, and here is what I hope  Tales To Behold #3 will look like. If all goes well…

New York Comic Con 2012

Great times last week at New York Comic Con. Many mini-comics were sold, and a nice time was had by everybody. The experiment was a full success and I might have to come back next year!

Besides conversations with all-time greats such as Herb Trimpe, Rich Buckler and Bon Wiaceck I also got to meet Erik Larsen and tell him how much I've been enjoying his work.

Finally, this was the place to meet actual super-heroes in person, a prime exable of which can be seen to the left. I couldn't wish for a better endorsement of Journey Into Misery 4 than by Mr. West Coast Avengers himself, the amazing Hawkeye!

Journey Into Misery 4 – New York Comic Con Edition

New York Comic Con is just around the corner, and here is the special edition of Journey Into Misery 4 that will come out at the event. This version is all hand-made, and the cover has a two-color block print, on top of a xerox, on colored paper. Even the content is slightly remastered, so if you didn't get the book at MoCCA, you can have an even better version now!


All other mini-comics will be available as well, and there will be even an advance readers copy of the graphic novel Peanut on display.

The Beholder will descend onto the Artist Alley, table CC18.

New York Comic Con is being held at the Javits Center (655 West 34th Street) in Midtown Manhattan. This year NYCC's Artist Alley will be at the North Pavilion of the Javits Center.
