Small Press Expo

:: Posted by Bryan @ 10/13/2006 04:31:00 AM
Of course this weekend, October 13 and 14, is SPX --taking place in Bethseda, Maryland near Washington DC. The 11th annual show of alternative comics publishers, self-publishers, cartoonist and zinesters featureslots of Canadian content in addition to the cream of U.S. cartooning, including Marc Bell, Conundrum Press' Andy Brown, and Robin Bougie (and that's just the B's).

Ottaw graphic novelist Von Allen will also be there and has sent along a press release that says in part that he:

will be displaying early pages from his forthcoming graphic novel the road to god knows...

"Comics and graphic novels have so much to offer and the Small Press
Expo has become the place to see the best and brightest," says Allan.
"SPX showcases this very diversity all under one roof and I'm pleased as
punch to be a participant. It's kinda scary, too; the Expo has served as
the launching pad for some of the strongest voices comics has to offer.
The second SPX, for instance, saw Daniel Clowes' "Ghost World" and Chris
Ware's "Acme Novelty Library" each win the inaugural Ignatz Awards in
their respective categories and both books have gone on to wonderful
things since then. Amazing stuff and it's a little intimidating to rub
shoulders with that. It's very clear that without the Expo comics would
be a very different place; a little colder and that much darker. It's
truly special to be a part of it and I'm thrilled that I'll be able to
showcase early pages from my graphic novel."
