    MICE ’24 a Hit for BCR – “Worm Man” debuts

    The Boston Comics Roundtable table at MICE did gangbuster sales at MICE this past weekend, with the top selling book spot going to the debut Boston Powers spin-off The Indomitable Worm Man from the team of the Minks and Mark Borok. This was the first appearance of this highly enjoyable new comics at a convention, and all 3 creators were at the table. Also making a debut was first-time BCR exhibitor Mary Dumas, whose graphic novels The Lucky Ones and Extreme Retirement also found favor with the buying public, as did Cam Lee’s Leon X Lykos; Julie Di Salvio’s perennially popular kids series Astro Cat, James Mobius’ Punk Rock Space Girl Adventures; Jack Ryder’s Skull Force Agents, Reggie Themistocle’s Stranger on Earth; Deftbeck’s Wonder Calmers, Jesse Schuh’s Year Round Days, Dan Mazur’s Lunatic, and a whole slew of adorable mini comics from Sacha Kenton. Of course, the BCR books themselves, including Boston Powers and Inbound 5 were there as well, and as always the BCR playing cards were the best selling item overall. This is probably BCR’s last show for the year, but lots of the above titles are available at our online store, so gift shopping from BCR is still possible.
