Date: April 6th 2010

Those of you who will be in New York City this weekend may be planning to attend MoCCA ArtFest, the annual celebration of independent and small-press comics. Moving up from summer to spring, this year's ArtFest is Saturday and Sunday, 10--11 April, 11am--6pm both days. The 2010 MoCCA ArtFest returns to the historic 69th Regiment Armory at 68 Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, between 25th and 26th Streets.

Drowned Town Press will be at MoCCA ArtFest with the third and final Ling Master Collection, Blaster Al Ackerman's Tales of the Ling Master #3. This collection includes not only updated art from Ling Master Preview #3, "The Squid Boys of Terre Haute," but two completely new Ling stories: "Ask Ling: Two Parables" and perhaps the most shocking Ling story ever, "The Blue Catfish." (Ling Master creator Blaster Al Ackerman, upon seeing the pencils for "The Blue Catfish", described the art for those pages as having "an eerie beauty and interest all its own.")
