Some Photos from Our Trip to the National Book Awards

test heading We didn't win the National Book Award -- alas! -- but there's always next time. (How awesome is it that enough graphic novels have been nominated for the National Book Award that we can actually say with reasonable certainty, 'next time,' because there will undoubtedly be one?  I think that's pretty awesome.)

Happy Halloween!

It's Halloween today -- that spooky, creepy, witchy holiday in which there is a lot of candy and things go bump in the night. We hope you'll celebrate with your favorite scary book (and lots of sugar)!

First Second at Comic Arts Brooklyn-1

test heading We're going to Comic Arts Brooklyn for the first time ever this year!  (I guess it is actually everyone's first time ever going to this festival.)  50% of our staff lives in Brooklyn, so we are very interested to see how this works out.  Will our spirit be sufficiently Brooklyn-y to succeed at [...]
