I did a comic called "Ninja Duck" in high school and partway through college. It was self-published and photocopied. I'd sell them at comics conventions in the Midwest and it was a big focus before design school. These photos are from Justin Nitz's copy of "The Collected Ninja Duck" which combines the first six issues or so. I put it out in 1996 and never kept a copy for myself. Thanks for holding onto that, Justin!

I just had to take one pic of their booth because apparently they are the biggest thing since sliced bread.
I must admit I've never read any of there stuff because I don't generally do "cute" or "upbeat". I prefer to be depressed.
Here it is!

Tony Kelly was football crazy from the age of seven. At sixteen he was the youngest ever player in the first team at Bristol City and in his twenties he became a pro, playing for clubs such Stoke City and Cardiff City in the Football League, second and third divisions. But his blossoming soccer career was marred by a series of mishaps and misdeeds which drove him to disaster. Ruined by an addiction to gambling, he lost his job, his career, his partner and all his money. Now he has written his story – as Kelly puts it, to “invite the public, my family and my friends into my secret hell of racism, despair, depression, stardom, gambling addiction and ultimately self-destruction”. Red Card is a tragic yet uplifting story of a sportsman’s battle with his demons, on and off the pitch.

When young Rod Brown’s mother happened to spot an advertisement in the local paper for engineers to work on a tea company’s estates in India and Pakistan, Rod dismissed the idea. But having put in an application to keep her happy, he was amazed to be offered a position – and soon realised it would give him a chance to break free of the boredom and frustration of his monotonous factory job. A few weeks later Rod set sail for a new life in India, the start of a long career in the tea industry during which he fell in love with the country and its way of life. Yet he never forgot the girl he’d left behind in England, and returned after four years to marry her. Tea and Me is the story of Rod Brown’s colourful early years in West Bengal in the 1950s, complete with encounters with tigers, leopards and poisonous snakes and some hilarious adventures with the local people.

Maurice Neal was 15 when he joined the King’s Royal Rifle Corps in 1906. By the time his regiment was shipped off to the Somme to fight in the First World War, he was a relatively experienced young sergeant. He and his men soon found themselves plunged into the full horror of trench warfare, daily enduring the shock of losing comrades and lying for hours in the mud surrounded by dead and injured fellow soldiers and deafened by the thunder of the bombs and guns. Throughout, Maurice kept a candid and beautifully-written diary of events: “Suddenly, a convulsion shakes him from head to foot and he lies still. The blood rapidly drains away from his face and hands. He turns ashen grey, and I realize that no more will Paddy sing to us… I look to the man on my right. He is making a gurgling noise and blood is oozing from his mouth – he does not live long. What are our orders? Are we to lie like this until a bullet accounts for us all?” Now, almost a century later, Maurice’s diary can be published in full, thanks to the efforts of his granddaughter, Stephanie Hillier.
