Albatross Funnybooks ALBATROSS EXPLODING FUNNYBOOKS launched in 2002 by cartoonist Eric Powell. Like his all ages comic CHIMICHANGA and Rebecca Sugar’s PUG DAVIS.

In 2002 Eisner Award winning cartoonist Eric Powell launched ALBATROSS EXPLODING FUNNYBOOKS in an effort to keep his series THE GOON alive when no other publisher wanted it because it was too “different”. But the readers spoke and the Goon quickly became an indy hit and picked up a diehard cult following. The Goon found a permanent home and a wider audience with DARK HORSE COMICS, but Eric continu

ed to publish creator owned comics through Albatross. (Rebecca followed that up by creating the Primetime Emmy Award nominated Steven Universe for Cartoon Network.) Eric has spent his career creating and promoting the validity and importance of creator owned comics and in 2016 his efforts continue with ALBATROSS FUNNYBOOKS!

As NYCC kicks off Forbidden Planet promises to fill this epic week with in-store events to make you hyped beyond belief. Join us on Thursday October 9th from 6-8PM for a celebration of the recent Dark Horse graphic novel Dr.Werthless. On hand will be Eisner Award winning artist/writer Eric Powell (creator of the legendary The Goon series) and serial killer specialist, true crime author Harold Schechter. 

It's an honor to have these two signing at the shop as we have been fans of The Goon since day one and we loved their first collaboration "Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done?". This time, Powell and Schechter focus on the notorious Dr. Fredric Wertham, author of Seduction of the Innocence, the man responsible for self censorship in the comic industry and the creation of the Comics Code. Dr Werthless does not disappoint as both an entertaining and informative nonfiction graphic novel that brings to light Wertham's accomplishments beyond the neutering of comics that might just have you second guessing your stance on him. 

Can't make it to the event with Eric Powell and Harold Schechter but still wanna get your hands on an autographed copy of the Dr Werthless graphic novel? No sweat, Forbidden Planet has got your back. Just place a pre-order on www.fpnyc.com and we will ship a signed copy straight to your door after the event.

So if you're looking for a way to cap off your first night of NYCC make sure to mark your calendar for October 9th and join us for the Dr Werthless in-store event with Eric Powell and Harold Schechter!
