If all you know about comics is Spider-Man or Superman, that’s like saying you understand film but have only seen Die Hard.

. “The Cowtown Comic Fest wasn’t as big as DiNK, but it had so much heart,” recalls Krumpholz. The venue was smaller and more manageable. It was free to get in, so fans could spend their money on the art and the artists themselves. “Jeff and I were talking about how good it would be to do something like that again," he adds."To get back to basics.”

With that inspiration in mind, Alford brought in a publisher he knew, Eddie Raymond of Strangers, a fanzine, publisher and distributor. Raymond had also just moved from the East Coast to Colorado . “The three of us sat down — a cartoonist, a vendor and a publisher — and started talking about doing a couple of small shows. Don’t shoot for the moon, just start off small and work our way up. We all three wanted to come together to start something new,” Krumpholz recalls, and CoCoCo was the result.

They approached Mutiny Information Cafe co-owner Jim Norris, whom Krumpholz describes as “always a big supporter of the comic book scene in Denver.” Norris quickly agreed, and the date for the Cavalcade was set. “The [idea] right now is to do a show quarterly, so the next will be in the spring. It might again be at Mutiny and it might not; we don’t know yet. But it’ll allow us to keep it fresh, and every show will have a new batch of creatives.
