Flesk will be exhibiting for our sixth year at Comic-Con International in San Diego. We will be located at booth #5019. This is our same location as the last four years. This show will represent the debut of Al Williamson Archives Vol. 1! This collection features this beloved illustrator’s private work, revealed for the first time. It is packed with over 100 drawings. This book will be available to the general public in early August. All pre-orders through Flesk by August 1 get free media mail shipping in the U.S. Details on the book can be found here.

The following artists we have books on will be at the show: Gary Gianni, Steve Rude, Mark Schultz, Jim Silke and William Stout. We hope to see you there!
