| “We’ve discussed a showcase for ACT-I-VATE in the past, and including it as a feature within the webcomics show was the perfect opportunity,” said MoCCA Curator Bill Roundy. “ACT-I-VATE has some fantastic cartoonists, and it has a unique focus on serialized graphic novels.” |

“An AIV/MoCCA team-up was inevitable, as both outfits champion the NYC comics scene from different angles,” said Jeff Newelt, aka Jahfurry, AIV Minister of Hype. “That the paths are set to intersect on the gallery walls is both a thrill and an honor.”
ACT-I-VATors featured in the Showcase are: Mike Cavallaro, Kevin Colden, Nikki Cook, Michel Fiffe, Simon Fraser, Ulises Farinas, Dan Goldman, Dean Haspiel, Tim Hamilton, Jason Little, Josh Neufeld, Leland Purvis, Ryan Roman, Jennifer Tong, and Dave Wallin.
The opening reception will be held Thursday, Sept. 13 at 7pm. Admission to the reception is $10.
