Comics?  At the Miami Book Fair?

If that's what you're saying, clearly you have not read this week's Publisher's Weekly article about the festival's growing comics program. 

Of particular interest to First Second readers: James Sturm will be there, doing a multiplicity of events on Friday and Saturday. 

There are two comics art exhibits up at the festival: one, The Color of Comics, includes art by Gene Yang, from American Born Chinese.  The other exhibit is based on our Spring 09 book The Photographer, showcasing the art and photography that the book combines so well. 

If you're in Miami, you should definitely go and check it out!  You can find a schedule of their events online here.
