Ren Fair Redux

Jun 09, 2006

When I did the Ren Fair blog I had a nagging feeling that I’d forgotten something. A fan said something at the Wolf Howl that made me remember. I got to meet my favorite comic book author and artist, all in one person. Aaron Williams is the creator of PS238. He was at the big art booth that we seem to always buy art from every year. Jonathon was buying something and wouldn’t let me see. So I took the hint and went off to look at art. It turned out he was buying the first two collected volumes of PS238. I didn’t even realize that Aaron Williams was there to sign the books. Jon wanted it to be a surprise, and it was. I talked to Aaron for awhile, and we talked a little about what it’s like to be out promoting your stuff. He has a very unique imagination, and I don’t say that lightly. PS238 is an elementary school for superheroes. Yeah, you read that right. It’s as if Superman, Batman, and little superheroes so unique I can’t even equate them with any known superhero, were wee little when they discovered their calling, or powers. It is funny, poignant, and my favorite comic. I believe I’ve mentioned the comic in the blog before, but if not, here it is.
