Go, Look: Chris Ware’s SPX Poster In This Greatest Con Year Ever



Egad.

I don't know if anyone's stopped to make this observation, but this could be the greatest year in cons and festivals in the art form's history, and not by a slender margin. Heroes celebrated its anniversary in what was basically a multiple-day hug; Emerald City solidified its place as #2 regional con; Lucerne and San Diego and TCAF seemed more than solid during a run of such years for each show; Angouleme had Spiegelman's stupendous exhibits; there seems a metric ton of festivals with only MoCCA having a year about which anyone's complained to me. Throw in that University Of Chicago symposium for the ages and it's hard not to see this as the best year ever for people gathering into different places with comics as the organizing principle. SPX, Baltimore, New York's Drink-A-Con and BCGF are all still forthcoming.
