HEY KIDS, COMICS! True-Life Tales From The Spinner Rack

I am proud/thrilled/overjoyed/pick a superlative to announce that Hey Kids, Comics!: True-Life Tales From The Spinner Rack will be published next month by Crazy 8 Press!

As many of you know, this has been a long time coming, and I'm really looking forward to working with the fine folks at Crazy 8 (one of whom is writer/editor Robert Greenberger, who has a story in the book) on making Hey Kids! a reality.
