David Mack Confirms Heroes Con Appearance
From David Mack:
	Who is going to Heroes Con this Fri-Sat? I imagine they will either seat me at Indie Island (where Oeming and I signed last time) or right next to Brian M B. Anyone from this board, feel welcome to say hello and please introduce yourself from the board. I'll have quite a bit of original art but I don't display it on the table, and I only pull it out if someone asks for it. So if you want to look at it, even if you can't purchase but just want to see it, feel welcome to mention it. There will be Daredevil art, Alias covers, Kabuki, Echo, and more. As well as a large selection of 11x17 prints and all the Kabuki collections. I couldn't make it last year do to some family-related medical issues. So it's been 2 years since I've been at Heroes show and I really miss the regulars there and the crew that run it. And looking forward to a lot of new faces as well.
If you would like Mr. Mack to set aside a particular Kabuki back issue, shirt, action figure or anything else, be sure to post your request in the message board thread or on his MySpace site, where he noted that copies of the Kabuki: The Alchemy hardcover, The Shy Creatures and The Alchemy of Art: David Mack DVD will be available and that he is currently putting together Kabuki: Reflections #14 for the printer.

Daredevil: Wake Up Insights
From David Mack:
	I have a few copies of [H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu: The Festival], but it is not anything I necessarily recommend. It just has a charm for me because of that early project of Brian and I working on something and getting one of our first page rates for it back in '93. A lot of early work is just getting a lot of mistakes and problematic pages out of your system. A learning experience, but fun because Brian and I were learning together on it. Daredevil: Wake Up also holds a great charm for me because it is Brian and I on our early Marvel project actually working on a project that we had complete collaborative creative input on, and we had developed our craft more so it seems like a project where the parameters of the collaboration were worthy of our long friendship and creative shorthand. That will also always be a special DD story for us. I think, to a certain degree, it is both of us working out some childhood angst with our parents and how we saw the world as a kid and how comics became a vehicle for us to communicate with others and the world, and for us to learn from and use the expression of comics as a launch pad and access point to be able to better express ourselves in other ways as well. If you read it again, I think you will see this in the trifecta of the kid Timmy, Ben Urich as a writer, and Daredevil. Each of them are changed and haunted by some traumatic childhood experience, but each of them finds a way around their blind spots or frozen aspects of development to see things in a unique way and interact with the world in a unique way.
