We headed down to SPX this past weekend and found a number of excellent people (many of whom — perhaps coincidentally? — seem to publish books with us).

Here are pictures!

Gene’s epic graphic novel diptych about the Boxer Rebellion, Boxers & Saints debuted at SPX this year — here Gene is signing a copy of Boxers with one of the Chinese opera gods.  (Also, you can see he’s wearing the t-shirt from his local comics store — Flying Colors!)

SPX2013 LucyKnisley

And here’s Lucy Knisley with her great New York Times Best-Selling graphic novel Relish!  (You can also see in this image the tattoo she got on her art after getting it — a crossed spoon and fork!)

We had a great time at this year’s show!
