If you’re into comics and have never attended the Small Press Expo in Bethesda, Maryland, you’re really missing out. I attended last year for the first time and have been thinking about SPX 2016 ever since. If you have even the slightest interest in independent comics, you should come for at least a day. (Hey, it’s only $15 for Saturday, Sept. 19, $10 for Sunday Sept. 20, and $20 for both days.)
Some of the guests who’ll be there include:
Scott McCloud
Dylan Horrocks
Bill Griffith
Kathryn Immonen
Stuart Immonen
Noah Van Sciver
Luke Pearson
Kate Beaton
Noelle Stevenson
Michael DeForge
Derf
Jessica Abel
And those are just the special guests. You can find more of them here, plus they’ll have tons of other creators at the event.
The Ingnatz Awards are also presented at SPX and if you haven’t seen the amazing list of nominees, you can check it out here.
Although we won’t have a table, Derek and I will be at SPX representing The Comics Alternative, so maybe you’ll see us there. If you do, please stop and talk with us!
