Two other great anthologies by friends of mine are at the show as well:
The Big Feminist BUT anthology preview. We’ll have a special $3 preview of this new anthology by Shannon O’Leary and Joan Reilly at the Sparkplug table. bigfeministbut.blogspot.com
From Stella With Love Sparkplug will be right across the isle from the Independent Publishing Resource Center. The IPRC comix program has produced a new anthology called From Stella With Love with work by La Nina, Virginia Paine, Ben Bush, Harlan Mahaffy, Katie Moody, Patrick Devine and Pam Cameron-Snyder. They’ll have the anthology as well as a ton of individual comics. All great, seriously!
