The Alternative Press Expo takes place this weekend at the Concourse Exhibiton Center in San Francisco. The event is something like a scaled down Comic-Con, showcasing the work of comics artists, writers, artists, and bloggers whose work hasn't necessarily crossed into the mainstream. This year, attendees include Tristan Crane, Edward Champion, Justin Green, Eric Reynolds, and Alex Robinson, many of the industry's leading independent presses will have booths, and there are panels focusing on web comics, queer cartoonists, and graphic novels. For members, a two-day pass is $10.
APE, the Alternative Press Expo, storms back into San Francisco the weekend of April 8 and 9 for two big days filled with the best comics anywhere! The Concourse at 620 7th Street is the site where hundreds of artists and publishers will converge for the largest gathering of alternative and self-published comics in the country. This year, APE features extended hours, with Saturday opening at 11:00AM and closing at 7:00PM adding 2 big hours to that day. Sunday starts off at 11:00AM also but adds an extra hour with a closing time at 6:00PM.
The entire APE Programming schedule will appear here in the coming weeks. You can count on programs focused on our special guests, Black Olive (courtesy SLG Publishing), Justin Green, Keith Knight, Alex Robinson, Raina Telgemeier and C. Tyler. Other programming will feature panels on graphic novels, web comics, how to pitch your comic to publishers, and the traditional APE "queer cartoonists" panel. Stay tuned for more details!
