they had their first run this past NOV 9, 2013 . . and though their PR machine doesn’t seem to be quite up and running, they have a great blog going. and though, just a personal opinion . . the on-site pix aren’t totally up to snuff, the wild creativity is !!
\nALL THERE !!<\/p>\n

I will definitely make a point of catching it next year, and so should YOU !!<\/p>\n

regarding the BC&GF flame-out, I can only imagine.
\ncomic book artists and the people who publish & sell the work . . are NOT the easiest going people in the world, contrary to what you might think.
\nand let’s leave it at that.<\/p>\n

if you want a good history of the BC&GF fest & the absolutely definitive<\/strong> take on the ‘break-down’, check out: ‘BC&GF ENDS’ by TIM HOLDER, THE COMICS JOURNAL<\/a><\/p>\n

and a sense of the past: BROOKLYN COMICS & GRAPHICS FESTIVAL<\/a><\/p>\n

anyways, I always wondered why ‘GRAPHICS’ was included . . in the first fest’s name.
\nit seemed a little defensive. re: the fine ‘art’ status of comic book artists.<\/p>\n

there never were . . any ‘pure’ graphics exhibited anyways. and that was an ‘association’ that missed the boat, completely. and with REASON.
\nso . . ALL GOOD !! <\/p>\n
