For Invasive Exotics fans, I am debuting the 4th and FINAL episode of this 4 part set. Read below for a description of the story:
Turnbull returns to the graphic novel format in his most ambitious work to date, The Invasive Exotics. Set in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, this offbeat sci-fi crime thriller tracks the series of events that occur when a sinister “urban redevelopment” conspiracy goes violently wrong. Jane Easewell, a vet (both war and animal) contains the knowledge of stopping the carnage around her. Becoming a fugitive overnight for breaking and entering, she finds herself running from the NYPD, the CEO of a world wide ice cream chain, and steroid injected giant ants imported from Côte d’Ivoire.
The mystery slowly unwinds through Brooklyn’s most ruthless streets and doesn’t stop until the novel’s gripping and action packed finale.
Don’t MISS. OUT.

At MoCCA this year, I’ll be introducing my new mini-comic/short story, “The Way it Crumbles,” a comedic fantasy tale (ie. there are elves and fairies) about chocolate chip cookies and the corporate destruction of traditional cultures. It’ll be available at the Boston Comics Roundtable table.
Also, making its outside-of-Boston debut is Inbound 4:A Comic Book History of Boston. The 4th issue of BCR’S anthology series is a collection of nearly 40 true stories set in the past 4 centuries in a medium-sized city north of New York.
Oh, and one more thing: we will be announcing the first annual MICE show — the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo, which will be held in Boston on September 25-26. Look for some promotional material featuring cute drawings of meece!

I will be debuting the second print-mini issue of “Gingerbread Houses,” a retelling of Hansel & Gretel that poses the question: “How do you live happily ever after with parents who walked you out into the woods and left you there to die?”
I will also have copies of my older mini, “Bring Your Daughter to Work Day,” which earlier this week received a glowing review in The Comics Journal: http://www.tcj.com/alternative/minis-monday-2
Both stories are written by me and illustrated by Edward J. Grug III.
I will be exhibiting with The Boston Comics Roundtable.
