We Be Back!
All of us here at TORC Press would like to take this moment to thank everyone that came out and supported us at the 2006 Wizard World Chicago Comicon. Whether you bought something off us or not, just taking the time to try out a comic from an unknown publisher from the back end of nowhere means a lot. And for those of you who did buy something, I hope you enjoy your books, and if you do enjoy them, make sure to check back here or over at www.myspace.com/torcpress for all of the latest news and info on new books coming out.
So, how was the show, you ask? Well, for starters, it's Wizard World. My first show was at WW three years ago, and it's always my best show. This year, attendance seemed to be lighter than usual. That meant that foot traffic was lighter than usual as well, which, in turn, meant it was harder to find people that would be interested in checking out the book. Having said that, Bro and I waded in and attacked the show with everything we had. And we did pretty well. It was exhausting, but fun. We met lots of cool people, and we had great neighbors throughout Artists Alley. Best of all, we had a surprisingly large number of people who were return customers from 2005, and even one or two from 2004! Knowing that there's a few people out there that enjoy my book and want to score new issues really helps make this whole thing seem worthwhile.
Other than that, we ate some good food (Giadannos!!!!!!), I scored a TON of 70s Kirby comics (I've almost got the entire original Eternals series!), picked up *coughLostGirlscough*, and bought/traded for a handful of Indy books (which I will probably mention here on the blog in the next day or two). I didn't score any bootleg or import DVDs this year, but I wasn't really looking for anything either. (Not that I've EVER bought a bootleg DVD. After all, it would be wrong, even if it would be the only way I could ever watch Battle Royal. Great flick, by the by.) All in all, another great year.
