Fantagraphics Books releases their Emerald City Comic Con Schedule
Yes, I am a slobbering fan of Fantagraphics, they are just down the street, and all City Coffee is right next door. What is there not to love?
Fantagraphics has released their author’s schedule for Emerald City Comic Con in two weeks; seriously it is just 9 days away at this moment in time. Nine more days, just nine, it’s only a comic con, but the coolest comic con in the Seattle area. So here is what they have proposed.
Friday, March 1st
4:00-6:00 PM Peter Bagge
Saturday, March 2nd
11:00-1:00 PM Bill Schelly
1:00-3:00 PM Peter Bagge
3:00-5:00 PM Ellen Forney
5:00-6:00 PM Michel Gagné
We’re excited to present an exclusive limited-edition Peter Bagge t-shirt, featuring our anti-superhero, Buddy Bradley! (That’s the design above, a take on the official ECC logo.)
And we’re also proud to present the debut of Peter Bagge’s Other Stuff, not due in stores until May, and featuring collaborations with Daniel Clowes, R. Crumb, Danny Hellman, Gilbert Hernandez, Jaime Hernandez, Alan Moore, Johnny Ryan and Adrian Tomine! Get your copy quick, ’cause these are gonna go fast!
Our Outreach Fiend, Jen, will also be droppin’ some knowledge at the panel “The Big Picture” on Friday from 4:20-5:15 PM in Hall C, where she’ll discuss how the landscape of the comic’s field has changed along with fellow panelists Allison Baker, Shannon Watters, Kelly Sue DeConnick, and Emi Lenox.
Personally I am wanting to meet Peter and Ellen as the write some of the comic books I am currently reading and loving. What is there not to love about the Bradleys? They are a much better dysfunctional family than the Simpsons could ever hope to be. They also state that they have a few tickets left, and with three day tickets and Saturday tickets officially sold out, you need to hurry on down to Georgetown and pick up what few tickets might remain down there if you want to go.
Remember we are in booth 1813, stop by and say howdy.
