Even if You Build It, There’s No Particular Reason to Think They’ll Come

Comic book mogul Steve Geppi -- and I will never refer to him any other way ever again -- is among those Baltimore leaders trying to attract events to the downtown sporting arenas. I mention this here because of the effect it can have on comics-related institutions, like Geppi's own proposed museum, the existing Baltimore comics convention and, if they go that way again, the Small Press Expo. As we've seen in Switzerland and elsewhere in Europe, civic support of comics-related institutions and events can go a long, long way in making and then keeping them viable.
