My awesome and talented wife, Gynn Stella (illustrator for Zephyr & Reginald: Minions for Hire among other works), just returned from SPACE (Small Press & Alternative Comics Expo) in Columbus OH. Parenting responsibilities meant only one of us could attend this year, but from all indications Gynn had a great show.
In addition to selling our comics, Gynn did plenty of buying and trading. SPACE is a great opportunity to connect with other small press creators and see some truly amazing comic work that you won't find at most other shows or at most comic shops.
Over the next couple of weeks, it's my goal to review the entire haul from SPACE, starting tonight. We have some other shows coming up, including next Sunday's South Coast Toy And Comic Show in Fairhaven MA, so I might take the occasional break from the SPACE comics to review any purchases we make at South Coast or our other scheduled shows, but for the next few weeks, the comics that Gynn brought home from SPACE will be the focus of this blog. If any of them sound interesting to you, I'd encourage you to give them a try. These small press books are true labors of love for their creators.
