The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art Festival has coalesced every June at the Puck Building since its inception in 2002 to celebrate and sell the comics, prints and artsy merch of anyone willing to cough up the cash for a table (it is a fundraiser, after all). It isn't the only one of its kind ‒ the Small Press Expo takes over Bethesda, Maryland every October and the Alternative Press Expo convenes on San Francisco in the fall. But this is New York City, with its massive creative unclass, the artsy home to all that is respected in the ivory concrete tower.
