Here’s the press release for the upcoming Source Mini Indy ComiCon event on December 30th. Please note that I had the date for this wrong in the previous post… it has been corrected. This should be a lot of fun, and there should be a lot to see… when I spoke to Nick he already had over a hundred independently published books that had been contributed to sell at the event! Here is the press release.

CELEBRATING THE SPIRIT OF INDEPENDENCE!

“Welcome the opportunity to feature some of our favorite aspects of the greater comic book community” said Dominic Postiglione, co-owner of the Source “Independent & Alternative comic book creators and cartoonists drive the diverse world of graphic literature right up to the bleeding edge of popular culture.” Postiglione continued ”A graphic literaure blender that is constantly changing, evolving and delivering something new and enticing in who knows what format?”

A Mini Indy Comicon is especially appropriate given the regions rather strange history of being a geographical breeder reactor for comic book creators and cartoonists. The Source, a long time supporter of Independent & Alternative Creators, welcomes the opportunity to showcase a much valued and often underserved segment of the industry, that is a virtual creative nuclear reactor.

Look for 14-20 Independent & Alternative Creators to be in attendance at the Source Mini Indy Comicon. They will be doing sketches, discussing & promoting their work and interfacing with the people in attendance! There will also be complimentary soda, snacks, and a very special prize drawing! The Source will also be featuring over 250 Independent & Alternative comic book titles and cartoons in various formats at the store during the week.

“This is a highly rarified gathering of very talented individuals!” Postiglione summarized “And we’re inviting the general public, seasoned comic fans, new comers and anyone else who is interested in graphic literature, to attend this very special and free event!”

The only claim to fame Dominic Postiglione co-owner of the Eisner Spirit of Retailing Award winning Source Comics & Games make is “the comic book I like the least, I like more that the comic book you like the most!”
