Book Release at Desert Island Comics Some of the good guys in the Comics world are out there putting their best panels forward. The mysterious I Know Joe Kimpel is hosting a book release and signing party this Friday night, October 16, 7-9 pm in the wilds of Brooklyn at the wonderfully named [...]
What is it that drives us to search for ourselves in the photos and stories of our ancestors? I've always loved detective stories from the time I was a little girl in Mobile, Alabama. I would take the younger siblings and ride the bus downtown on Saturday mornings and we'd go to the movies for [...]
We had a great time on Saturday at Storefront Artist Project in spite of the crazy weather. It was a small but select crowd and Howard Cruse was his usual engaging and generous self to the young fans who were there. I was fascinated by one young man who follows the artists' work more than [...]
We’re doing a benefit tomorrow, Saturday, August 22nd for Storefront Artist Project from 3-5 pm at the gallery space at 124 Fenn St. in Pittsfield, MA. Since this month’s comics magazine, AlterEgo features Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson on the cover Lawrence Klein curator of the current show at Storefront Artist Project featuring the art of Scott [...]
Editor's note: This post is continued from the previous one. Once uncle Finn and I arrived in Vic-sur-Aisnes we headed straight to the gates of the chateau.

Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson's Eisner Award. Finally. What an amazing time we have had. We came to Comic Con somewhat defensively given some of the negativity that we have encountered about The Major, especially on the web and what we found was, for the most part, people who are more than receptive. Of course, [...]
Well, we made it. Ten of us from the Wheeler-Nicholson family are here at the giant ComicCon 2008. It is the first time for any of us to attend this event. What can you say? If you haven't been it's almost impossible to describe. San Diego is a beautiful city. We're right here looking out [...]
The Wheeler-Nicholson family are very saddened to learn of the recent death of Creig Flessel, the legendary comic book artist who was one of the Major's early hires back at New Fun Comics in the mid-'30s, and may have been the last living person to have actually worked with the Major during that period. Mr. [...]
