Summer Booth Convention Special

 If you like Jeff Smith’s TUKI in color, just wait until you
see it in black & white!

 This year’s Cartoon Books in-booth special for San Diego is the
TUKI 80-Page Black and White Giant; a special collection of the first three
issues of TUKI Save the Humans in all black & white.

 TUKI Save the Humans was Smith’s first comic to debut in
full color. Now, as a limited edition run, Cartoon Books is gathering together
all the pages from issues 1 through 3 in their original, unadorned line art
exclusively available at the Cartoon Books booth (#2109).

The book measures 10 x 6 ½” with the art running
horizontally to accommodate the widescreen shape of the comic.

“We’re really happy with this second round of invited guests,” said CXC President

area and some are people that have never visited here before,” Smith noted.
“They are all first-rate comics makers, and representative of several different
approaches to the medium, which is very exciting for us.”

Previously announced special guests were Kate Beaton, Jerry Beck, Bill
Griffith, Françoise Mouly, Jeff Smith, Art Spiegelman and Craig Thompson.

A short biography for each special guest is available at the festival’s web
