The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA) is holding its seventh annual festival this weekend – June 7 and 8, 2008 – at 594 Broadway (Suite 401), just below Houston.
Attendance will probably be around 6,000 compared to the over 60,000 at New York’s ComicCon. I’m sure the gigantic cons are fun if you crave teeming hordes and lots of movie and movie-star promotion. But if you don’t like getting dirty looks for holding up the line by having a tiny conversation with the artist or writer, then check this one out.
If you go, be sure to mark your schedule for Rebecca Donner (2:30-3:30pm on Saturday) and Alex Robinson (12:10-1:20pm on Sunday), one of my favorite graphic novelists (loved Box Office Poison, can’t wait for Too Cool to be Forgotten).
