Hey, check out the photos from the Guy Delisle signing at Politics & Prose here in DC that SPX co-sponsored. I had a chance to talk with Guy, a most gracious guy ;-) and was a real funny/entertaining speaker. It was a packed house, standing room only to get his latest book Jerusalem from Drawn & Quarterly. Oh, on the table in front of Guy are the cool free passes to SPX 2012 given to everybody who got their book signed by him.

In a continuing expression of the Small Press Expo’s devotion to public libraries and our desire to pack their underfunded, under-appreciated shelves with the best and brightest of independent comics. Attend SPX this fall and you can make this happen. Your ticket to the show will put indie comics into local libraries.

I ‘made it’ when we did our first issue. Everything else - the New York Times, even making a movie - is lesser than Love and Rockets, as far as I’m concerned, and everyone else should treat their work that way. It it’s your own work, it should be treated as the last thing, not the first thing.

I just want to keep reblogging this every week to the SPX Tumblr because THIS IS THE CREATIVE MANIFESTO YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR.

Amen. And, did we mention, SPX loves libraries. Come see us this fall and help us stock library shelves with comics and graphic novels, all at no cost to the institutions. We work with the best small press publishers to get their comics books and graphics novels into new libraries every year. Only your attendance at SPX makes this possible. In 2012 it also means you’ll get the chance to rub shoulders with Chris Ware, Dan Clowse, the Hernandez Brothers and hundreds of other incredible cartoonists and creators. I can pretty much guarantee it is the most fun, interesting and inspiring two days you can spend in comics. Do us a favor - help us spread the word! Hope we’ll see you there. via Boing Boing

SPX loves libraries. In fact, we’re on a mission to fill them with comics and graphic novels. When you attend SPX, you help fund this mission. With your help, every year we’re able to provide local libraries with the ability to add graphic novels to their collections, provide by the independent publishers that attend the SPX festival. We provide a pull list of titles. Libraries pick what they want and SPX picks up the tab. We couldn’t do it without you - and without the incredible artists and publishers that we’re so privileged to worth with at the Small Press Expo. Viva libraries! libraryland: ©sljohnson 2012

comicsgirl: On Monday, I was feeling all pleased with myself because I’d managed to pack up all the Ignatz submissions I’d had so far (You can see them in the photo — I haven’t been able to get them to the post office yet for personal reasons but that will happen tomorrow). On Tuesday, I went to the Vienna Big Planet and they insisted I take the submissions that were there so far. So many boxes! I am used to boxes being packed pretty lightly. Nope, not this time. All of these were full. All those boxes you see? FULL OF AWESOME COMICS.My roommate said it looks like I’m hoarding books for the apocalypse. Yes, yes, you think it’s funny now, but just you wait until society collapses and comics and graphic novels become the new currency. Because that’s going to happen. I think I’m going to need more Priority Mail boxes. Ignatz guidelines are here if you want to submit and add to this madness (but it’s madness I enjoy! so that’s perfectly OK).
