Daniel Johnston will make a live appearance on Saturday night, April 28th, to play a short acoustic set at the official MoCCA Fest afterparty. Daniel will be returning from his European tour that same day to make this appearance, and will be at the BOOM! Town table at MoCCA Fest the following day (tables D4, D5, D6) to sign copies of his new graphic novel, SPACE DUCKS: AN INFINITE COMIC BOOK OF MUSICAL GREATNESS. Johnston will also have a special one-on-one interview conducted by Brian Heater as part of MoCCA’s official programming, at 3:15 on Sunday in panel room A. Attendees of MoCCA are invited to the Village Pourhouse, 3rd Ave & East 11th Street from 7-10pm on Saturday the 28th for the official MoCCA Fest afterparty and launch party for Harvey Pekar’s posthumous “Cleveland” graphic novel. Pekar previously interviewed Johnston and wrote the introduction for a 2009 collection of Daniel’s artwork.
SPACE DUCKS: AN INFINITE COMIC BOOK OF MUSICAL GREATNESS is Johnston’s debut graphic novel from BOOM! Town and Wieden+Kennedy Entertainment. Johnston, a long-time and dedicated fan of comic books, realizes his life-long dream of being a comic book artist with this release. In addition to the graphic novel, a Space Ducks app available through iTunes allows users to play their way through the comic narrative, game by game, chapter by chapter, unlocking animated films and Daniel’s new album as they go.
The MoCCA Festival 2012 will be Saturday April 28th and Sunday April 29th at the 69th Regiment Armory (68 Lexington Ave New York, NY) and will feature a stellar lineup of BOOM! Town and KaBOOM! creators.
