I’ll be in New York City for the debut of Fall Through at MoCCA Festival (my first time since 2018!)— here’s my schedule:
Saturday, March 16th:
signing at Top Shelf, 12:00-2:00 pm (booth 24)
signing at Abrams, 3:00-3:30pm (booth 147)
Sunday, March 17th:
signing at Top Shelf, 11:00am-12:00pm (booth 24)
signing at Abrams, 2:20-2:50pm (booth 147)
“Taking Sides, Drawing Lines” panel, 3:00pm (Room 1)
I’ll be an exhibitor at Cartoon Crossroads (CXC) in Columbus, Ohio on September 30th & October 1st! It’ll be at the Columbus Metropolitan Library (96 S. Grant), 11-5 Saturday and 1-5 Sunday.
On Saturday at 1:00 pm, I’ll be on the “Punk and Comics” panel in the auditorium, alongside Raeghan Buchanan, Shelly Bond, and Derf Backderf, moderated by Craig Fischer. See you there!
This will be my last show before two new books are released next year: Fall Through (out February 6 from Abrams ComicArts) and Lies My Teacher Told Me (out in June from The New Press). Swing by my table and you’re welcome to take a peek at my personal printed-out copies of those books!
The big items I’ll have are two new 16”x20” full-color artist prints for Fall Through— these are signed, numbered, and limited to editions of 70 each! (I’ll probably bring 20 of each to CXC.) $20 each or both for $35.
Here’s the art for those prints:
I’ll be discussing my nonfiction, historical & memoir work on this “Comics Out Of Life: Conversations With Our Past” panel, alongside Thien Pham and moderator Raina Telgemeier— as a part of A2CAF in Ann Arbor, Michigan!
The panel will be on June 9th at 2pm, at the Koessler Room, Michigan League (911 N. University). Check here for more details, and here for more info on A2CAF, where I’ll be tabling all weekend.
I’ll be tabling at Cartoon Crossroads Columbus on October 8-9, right at the front at table 1! Here’s a map and list of all the wonderful exhibitors.
Columbus Metropolitan Library, 96 S. Grant Ave— Saturday 11am-5pm, Sunday 1-5pm.
Saturday 4-5pm, I’ll also be on the “Historical Biography In Comics” panel in Room 1A.
All books will be $20 or less, with any 3 graphic novels for $45— my books have been selling out pretty quickly at recent shows, so I recommend picking up books before 4pm on Saturday. See you there!
This weekend marks the triumphant return of the Small Press Expo (Bethesda North Marriott, 5701 Marinelli Rd., Rockville MD), and my first time back at SPX since 2018!
I’ll be slangin books at booth W74, and will also be on the Top Shelf 25th anniversary panel Sunday at 2:30pm in the White Oak Room.
For the show, all my books will be $20 or less, the MARCH boxed sets are $45, and you can pick any 3 graphic novels for $50. I’ll also have 3 relatively new-ish pandemic-era books which are all still pretty fresh: Two Dead, Save It For Later, and Run.
See you there!
If you live anywhere between St. Louis and Columbus, Chicago and Nashville, come to Evansville, Indiana this Saturday for the Museum Geek & Comic Con! It’s a great, small, varied show in a fantastic venue (411 SE Riverside Drive), and I’ll be there selling books from 11am-5pm.
Here’s the Museum Con’s FB page for more info.
At 2:30pm, cartoonist extraordinaire Chris Schweizer and I will be doing a panel together, talking about our work— see you there!
This is my first comic con in 3 years, so I have a bunch of backed-up stock to sell— for this fall, I think I’ll be offering all 3 pandemic releases (Two Dead, Save It For Later, and Run) together for $50, and all individual books will be $20 or under!
I’ll be at San Diego Comic Con this weekend, after 3 years away! Here’s my schedule of signings and panels:

I’m proud to participate in this upcoming “Banned Comics & Education” panel this Friday, July 15th at noon Eastern Time alongside the great Jerry Craft, Laurie Halse Anderson, and Tim Smyth! Please register for the panel here.
If you’re interested, I’ve recently made 3 short comics covering interrelated aspects of the mainstreamed fascist right’s very serious push to enact memory laws and limit access (in schools, libraries, AND private businesses) to histories and fiction featuring the perspectives and voices of people of color and LGBTQ+ people:
Part 1— “Shelf It” via The Nib
Part 2— “Divisive Concepts” op-ed w/ Andrew Aydin via Washington Post
Part 3— “Comics and Their Strengths” info-comic via Booklist
The first confirmed batch of upcoming panels and interviews about Save It For Later are up now at my Events page, with more added as soon as they’re confirmed! The first one is this Saturday, March 20th.
Please note that most of these require some pre-registration— thanks! I hope to see you there.
