Yes, it is silly, and yes it is awesome. I got this at the Small Press Expo, and then promptly thought I had lost this comic before I was able to read it. Happily I found it in the pile of loot I got at Small Press Expo, so I have a chance to review this one. Madeleine is one of the more awesom [...]

Madeleine Flores needs some help to c...
Picture removed at the request of Madeline Flores — I first ran into Madeleine Flores at SPX (Small Press Expo) this year in DC, and ended up not just getting an impromptu interview, but ended up really enjoying her work. Unfortunately, she was visited by the Grinch this holiday season and has ended up in the hospital. As she states:

Comics Forge Interviews Adrian James ...
This is what Small Press Expo 2011 was really all about, two folks just getting started in the industry and showing what they have already. Most of the advice that others have been giving out throughout this series of interviews has been all about just starting. Not worrying about what other people think, just keep on drawing, learning about [...]
Comics Forge Interviews Dirk Tiede
If you have never read paradigm shift, then stop right here and go find a copy to read. This is one of the comic books I personally own, so being able to get an interview with Dirk Tiede is one of those unsung convention wins that you really want to have when you go somewhere. I can’t say enough about how cool Paradigm Shift is as a cross ov [...]
Comics Forge Interviews Joel Christia...
This had to have been the most interesting interview of the day in many ways. You rarely see black history in comic books, and Joel has started collecting many stories about black history into comics. Under the strange fruits comics label, it is interesting to see how black history has influenced American history. Not just as slaves or the ou [...]

Whitney (Whit) Taylor is an upcoming comic book author and her stuff can be found at http://whimsicalnobodycomics.blogspot.com and she had another awesome interview.

I had the fortune to interview Savannah Zambrano and her friend at SPX 2011, and it is awesome seeing new people being added to the independent comic’s scene. This was their first SPX and it was interesting hearing the comparison and contrast between the various types of conventions that they go to. I liked the advice they would give to new a [...]
Dan Stafford and Noah Van Sciver Smal...
Dan and Noah was an interesting pair to interview at Small Press Expo 2011. The format of these interviews was to tell us about yourself and what you are doing with the independent comic book scene in two minutes or less. Everyone had something interesting to say and it was fun to see what these two guys are doing. Dan owns Kilgore Books and [...]

One of the most interesting people was Madeleine Flores. I liked the advice that she gives out to artists wanting to [...]

This really ended up being an awesome day, and there are still tons of cool stuff to do through 11 PM tonight. There are just some amazingly cool people running around, and it was very good to see Craig Thompson running around as well. He has been missed in the comic book market by taking a long time off since the comic boo [...]

Well, the tickets have been purchased, and we are heading on out to the Small Press Expo 2011 at the Bethesda North Marriott. Some of the things I am seriously looking forward to are the round table with Jamie, Gilbert, and Mario Hernandez. The Love and Rockets series had a monumental influence on my teenage years, the blurb from SPX is:
