FAN EXPO 2009
So I missed Fan Expo 2008. I was busy with my wife, having a baby.
But this year my schedule is open and I intend to be there!
Hopefully with a brand new comic.
Which brings me to a funny story…
Remember what Dave Sim said way back in the blogandmail #338 (August 15th, 2007)? Well, it seems, once again, I’ve engineered a situation where everything had to go off like clockwork in order for it to happen. It got right down to the wire, and my plans were almost foiled by the platinum foil edition.
Today I received this message from Lebonfon:
Hi Mike
We just got the covers, but we got some problem on the saddlestitch machine.
We will build a 100copies (50 of each version) manually so you have at least this for the Fan Expo.
Tonight or tomorrow morning we will saddlestitch the rest and try a saturday delivery for the others 300 if you want.
Please advise

Talk about down to the wire! So… if you’re one of the lucky ones to pick up your SPY GUY #1 at the FAN EXPO this weekend, you get the ULTRA-RARE-HAND-SADDLESTITCH edition! We’re making them old-school now folks!
If you’re at the show, be sure to come by the POSSUM PRESS / ULTRAIST STUDIOS booth at table A39 and pick up the latest SPY GUY, and THE POSSUM (which is fantastic by the way – Blair really outdid himself on issue #4 – best POSSUM to date). We’ll be doing the usual free sketches if you buy something, and we’ll have the classic VALUE PACK so you can get everything for cheap!
See you there!
ps. Perhaps on SPY GUY #2 I’ll heed Dave Sim’s sage advice…
