Derek McCulloch

Continuing My Series On Creators that will be at the Comic Con International San Diego 2009, AND whom I think You should make a point to stop and see...

Is Derek McCulloch, who will be at a table with Jimmie Robinson in the Image Comics Booth area.  Some of you comics fans may be a little surprised by the children's book shown above, as most of you will know Derek for 'Stagger Lee', his graphic novel based on the story of Stagger Lee and illustrated by Shepherd Hendrix!  It was this graphic novel that was published by Image Comics in May 2006 that was nominated for several awards, including the Eisner Awards in 2007 and also the Eagle Awards in 2006.  Matter of fact 'Stagger Lee' won several Glyph Comics Awards in 2007 also! 

His second graphic novel, 'Displaced Persons', is also being  published by Image Comics.

Derek sent me the following message:

"I'll be there for the whole show. Right now, I'm scheduled to sign at the Shadowline table at 4 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. Sunday and at the Comic Relief table at 1 p.m. Thursday. That'll be me signing with Jimmie Robinson in all three instances. I'll likely be signing at the PopGun table at some point too...that's not scheduled yet, but since the PopGun table is right next to my table at the Image booth, it doesn't really make much difference.

Jimmie and I will have a small supply of our children's book, T. Runt! with us. (And a small supply of very rare homemade T. Runt! tote bags.) I'll have a little stack of my GN, Stagger Lee. Jimmie will also have a whole bunch of Bomb Queen trades and merchandise, including the newly released Bomb Queen Omnibust edition and some astounding Bomb Queen skateboards."

So Blog Readers... if you are interested in those limited numbers of T. Runt! items, you gotta get there early! 

BTW, if you are not one of the 125,000+ persons that are attending this great comic book & pop culture convention this month, then you could take a look at Derek's web site:  http://www.derekmcculloch.com
