It’s been a fun few weeks, MoCCA coming and going, the whole NY experience and all.

I managed to have the Black Sabbath single done for the festival, plus a similar-format outline of the entire project. The latter may be up on the site as a PDF in a few days.

Generally, immediate reactions were great to my water-colored Sabbath interpretation, which I’d managed to print, assemble and trim by myself late Wednesday night before leaving for NY.

Also, Danish publisher Aben Maler had an early start on their latest collection of 676 booklets and, as mentioned earlier, my Resistansen is one of them.

Resistansen doubles as a single off the Astoria album, but unfortunately the size is a couple inches too small to count as a single proper. Of course, the main attraction was From Wonderland With Love, the Fantagraphics anthology of Danish comics I am also part of.

A big, beautifully flexibound book, Wonderland features a lot of my personal favorites in the Danish comic field, and a few that I look up to as well. It couldn’t have pleased me more to be signing our book on Sunday at the Fanta table.

I’m posting all this in hindsight because A) there was no WIFI at the 69th Armory where the festival took place and B) the WP iPhone app that I’ve used to post here went belly-up, and I mistakenly thought it meant the hostel WIFI was b0rked, too.

All in all a great MoCCA for me, but I realize it’s been pretty lame for those who have been waiting for news from me. Don’t worry, I found a replacement for the bust blogging app
