The Never-Ending, Four-Color Festival: Cons, Shows, Events



* it's all going to be about Angouleme for the next few weeks -- here's the FPI blog with a post on some of the various comics up for prizes.

* speaking of FPI, here's their latest convention round-up.

* pre-registration has opened for Comic-Con International. In this case, that doesn't mean "registering in advance"; it means "getting a Member ID number so one can register later on." Exhibitor registration is open at SPX and for the MoCCA Festival. Stumptown's exhibitor registration closes tomorrow.

* speaking of Stumptown, they've added three comics industry luminaries to their board of directors.

* Black Comic Book Day has a web site, although not a firm date on the web site I can find right away.

* the 35th anniversary of the Charlotte MiniCon will be celebrated this Sunday.

* the Eisner Awards program has put out their yearly call for submissions, and will close that down on March 6. That's a nice deadline because it pretty much says "get this in the mail by March 1."

* a convention based around a specific creator seems like a natural idea, given how publishers are doing conventions and stores as a way to solidify their commercial brand. How Mark Millar didn't think to do something more like this with his own convention efforts is beyond me.

* finally, a report from the Tony Millionaire portraits book-related show at Fantagraphics a while back.
