I'm just back from the excellent event Back Issues Comicon 2 and happy to report DARK COAST #1 recieved great reception!

What a pleasure to hang with fellow DC1 NS contributors Tony White, Andrew Clarks Comic Art and Brianna June! Now I'm super motivated to get to work on DC2 (coming out next March '25)!

The show was a lot of fun, it's always nice to cross paths with both friends new and old, not to mention pick up great deals on comics and magazine for my collection. So many treasures to behold!

HEY! You can now pick up a copy of DARK COAST 1 at Strange Adventures Comix & Curiosities in Halifax, and Rainbow's End Books and Discs in Wolfville, NS, and The Comic Hunter Charlottetown!

If all goes well, I'll be appearing at Down East Comic Expo in Wood Islands, PEI this October 26th with DC1 Island contributors Arden Belfry and Brad Seymour. I'll make a further announcement about this later.

Cheers!
