The Interrogation of Artist, Teacher, and Comic Book Industry Veteran Darren Auck
In a series of questions, artist and teacher, Darren Auck lets us in on his inspirations, teaching methods, lessons learned, and, for some, finally answers the burning “Chasing Amy” question about inkers and tracers. Darren has seen the industry from many vantage points and at many levels, and his answers are pretty refreshing in their honesty.
Declassify >Infiltrating the 2014 Edition of The Great Allentown Comic Con Summer Show
This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending The Great Allentown Comic Con Summer Show at Merchants Square Mall. As usual, it was filled with vendors of comic books and other pop culture paraphernalia, artists and other vendors, as well as, my fellow attendees, those in cosplay and those who just showed up with their geek on their sleeve.
I have said before and I’ll say it again, The Great Allentown Comic Con is getting too big for itself. This is not a complaint, more of an observation, and a good problem for the organizers to have at that.

Small Oddities: A Bomber, an Old Machine, a Spoof, Magic Cosplay and a Mashup
A modern marvel of its time or any time, the B-17; old technology left to rot; a Maxim spoof in the Star Wars Universe; Magic: The Gathering cosplay; and a mashup that I can’t believe hasn’t been done before. This Small Oddities has it all.
Declassify >Random fandoms collide comfortably at Philly Non-Sports Card Show
This past weekend, I attended the 60th Philly Non-Sports Card Show in Allentown, Pa. This isn’t the first time I’ve been there, but every time I go I’m amazed at how much of that industry still exists.
I grew up with movie cards, sports cards, and collectible card games. Sure, I stopped collecting sports cards and I don’t collect Magic: The Gathering cards like I used to, but that obviously doesn’t mean everyone else kept up with their hobbies.
