Best American Comics Notable: A Thousand Times by Kevin Reilly ′18

A Thousand Times by Kevin Reilly ′18 (Secret Acres) was selected as a Best American Comics notable. As Rob Clough describes it on High-Low: “It’s the story of a horse that keeps running and running, trying to find its girdle. It’s another example of Reilly creating a world with its own dream logic that inexorably leads to a horrific end.”

Kevin Reilly is the creator of Mothball 88, which was nominated for Outstanding Minicomic at the 2018 Ignatz Award. Available Now at Secret Acres!

CCS at the Ignatz Awards

Alum from CCS are making an appearance in the 2018 Ignatz Awards. Everyone who attends SPX can vote, so if you are going to be there, peruse and find your favorites. While you are there, you can also visit SPX special guests Jason Lutes (current CCS teacher) and Max de Radigues (previous CCS fellow).

Current student Kevin Reilly‘s Mothball 88 is up for Outstanding Minicomic. As Kevin describes it, “In the silk-empire of Bombyxia, the sport of Mothball has developed from generations-old sericultural practices into a high stakes ritual contest that tests the skill and grit of young athletes. The 88th Mothball Championship became one for the ages, but for reasons no spectator would imagine.” Kevin is providing copies of this 18-page story as a free digital download until September 14th, 2018. But a Risograph-printed physical version will be at SPX.
