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



By Tom Spurgeon

* walk don't run to this massive wrap-up post on TCAF 2012 from Chris Butcher.

* look at all the happy people at the release party.

* bunch of disparate but reasonably vital or at least intriguing shows of various types up this weekend: that comics show in Maine (this year featuring Kate Beaton and Kazu Kibuishi), Motor City Comic Con, that massive symposium/festival thing at the University of Chicago with the guest list to die for, another shot at a Bay Area convention and another candidate for a proper London-area mainstream comics show. I'd be in Chicago given independent wealth.

* Paul Karasik sent along this link to a set of photos from his Graphic Novel Realism show, running until May 25.

* exhibitor applications are due June 15 for the Brooklyn Comics And Graphics Festival, to be held in November this year. It's a good show, and the price seems pretty okay to me.

* finally, unless I'm reading that BCGF thing wrong, it looks like they've added The Knitting Factory as a location for programming. That's good, because the space they used last year was cool but super-, super-packed.
