SPACE

Saturday afternoon, Joe and I attended  S.P.A.C.E  (Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo).  Originally we went in order for me to pick up a kickstarter reward.  However, we were pleasantly surprised at the size of the show, and the number of comics/art offered.  Most of the tables were filled with professional-looking offerings. Some were annoying in their attempts to sell.  Only one table had typical "DC Press" type comic books, which we were happy to ignore :)  (One table had a book in which the author illustrated Moby Dick - every single page of it.  This glorious book was a monster, and I wish we had walked in with more money.)  I was able to pick up a birthday present for a friend, and a few little comics I really couldn't walk away from.  More importantly, I picked up business cards at just about every table, in order to revisit their work later when I have more money.

If you have the time/inclination, check it out next year.  We'll definitely be back!
