AAUGH at the San Diego Comic Con

Comic Con International: San Diego, the biggest comic book convention in the US, is a mere two weeks away. This is a huge event, with hundreds of talks, thousands of exhibitors, millions of comics and books on sale, thousands of comics pros in attendance, plus movie and TV stars, toys, films, and fun.

Your humble AAUGH Blogger will indeed be there, and I should be easy to find – almost the entire time that the exhibit hall is open, I’ll be at the About Comics booth. About Comics is my publishing company, and I’ll have more for the Schulz fan than just a chance to meet me.
I’ll be selling copies of the Schulz collection It’s Only a Game, of course, but I also be selling copies of Remembering Sparky, that book of people’s memories of Schulz from the 1940s and 1950s (which is not available through Amazon or most other sources at this point).

And… I will be announcing the next Schulz project coming from About Comics!

So if you’re near San Diego, or you can get near San Diego, come on down! About Comics is booth 5436, which is along the front wall of the exhibit area, at the head of aisle 2100.
