We’ll see you in THREE WEEKS!
Ken Wong in the SPX Collection at the Library of Congress
Ken Wong’s origami comics are some of the most innovative mini comic formats around. He was kind enough to send both fully folded and unused examples of his great stuff for the SPX Collection at the Library of Congress.
The LoC was so impressed and happy to get this stuff, that they had their conservation people build special box to house his works, it’s pretty amazing!!
On the left is Georgia Higley, head of the Newspaper Section (that has all of the comic books and mini-comics, WOW!!), and Megan Halsband, curator in the same section holding Ken’s work.

Ron Rege did some of these wayyyy back in the last century. But they have not lost their indie comics charm one bit due to age…..

I sold out of my initial print run of Black Mass #6 pretty quickly (somewhere around 125 copies!) since it was released late last year. I’ve finally got around to printing some more.
If you’d like to have one, please act fast because they won’t be around forever!
