Newave! The Underground Mini Comix of the 1980s available February 10
Media Release -- Newave! is a gigantic collection of the best small press cartoonists to emerge in the 1970s after the first generation of underground cartoonists (such as R. Crumb, Gilbert Shelton, and Art Spiegelman) paved the way. These cartoonists, inspired by the freewheeling creative energy of the underground comix movement, began drawing and printing their own comix. The most popular format was an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet, folded twice, and printed at local, pre-Kinkos print shops on letter-size paper; because of the small size, they were dubbed "mini comix." As they evolved many different artists, one by one, became interested in this do-it-yourself phenomenon

Interview: Stephanie Lantry and Carrie Smith of Conjoined Comics
The Alternative Press Expo is a small convention that is geared to, as you can guess, the alternative facets of what the comics industry has to offer. What’s more than that is APE is as laid back a comic convention as you will find. Small shows will do that simply because smaller size means more attention, and the increased ability to interact with others in the comics community. That’s whether it’s fans amongst professionals, professionals among their peers, or otherwise. So inevitably, thi

From the Design Desk: Alternative Press Expo (APE) 2009
A couple of weekends ago the Alternative Press Expo took place here in the SOMA neighborhood of San Francisco. This was my second year in a row attending APE . The show is mostly centered around comics and graphic novels. I saw a lot of the same authors and artists showing new work, building upon old work, or just plain repeating the same old work from last year

Press has been very kind to me and my funny book endeavor and I am feeling so much gratitude that it is simply quite humbling, dear reader! Princess Witch Boy made it into the take home pile of JK Parkin from Robot 6 of Comic Book Resources, Comicvine reporter Sara Lima interviewed me

APE: Alternative Press Expo Report
Alternative Press Expo OK, I have to be honest, the part of Comicon that thrills me the most while at the same time makes me the most uncomfortable is Artist’s Row. It thrills me because the people who actually make big name and independent books alike are there to show off their stuff. It makes me uncomfortable, because a large portion of the artwork is just mediocre and I know that most will never make it beyond the small pity sales they get at the con. The Alternative Press Expo (APE
