questions to people who know about comics. Small press and independent publishers and creators, professors, journalists and more will be in attendance
over 6 afternoons throughout August. They're coming from all across
Alberta so YOU can talk to them and learn more about the world of comics!
This event is
family friendly, for all ages.
