Wannabez #0 premieres at Mid-Ohio



Well, Brant Fowler (Wannabez creator, writer and letterer) and I took on Mid-Ohio Con last weekend and had a great time meeting new people. We were selling brand-new copies of Wannabez #0, which features the original issue #0 story, along with pin-ups, articles, and a multi-page preview of issue #1! And the booth looked great, with the banner, character stand-ups, cards, portfolio, and racks of comics. We made alot of people aware of our book series and website, and were backed up by the appearance of our cat character, MAU, who was live and in person (portrayed by my good friend Jonna)! Mau entered a costume contest, and while walking the show, had pictures taken with celebrities, kids, and adults! I did some sketches, and Brant and I were even interviewed a couple of times! We also made some great retailer contacts.



Thanks to Brant, the whole booth team got Wannabez t-shirts that just rocked! Thanks to Jonna and Brant's brother Zach for their help at the show! Also there was the colorist for Hackoween, Marc Lewis, and together we helped put out some promotion for Hackoween, which debuts online at halloweenman.com on October 15th!
