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.
Read about how right here.

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.

Ira Marcks is makin’ comics on Tumblr. If you like what you see, help him publish the complete webcomics run of Witch Knots as a graphic novel.
This comic is gorgeous, Ira has been working on it for years and it shows. The whole thing is hand painted and has this wonderful old timey feeling, it truly is magical.
You can read the comic from the beginning here:

James has some work in progess…
Circles (Part Two; The Self-Destruction Of Jimmy Tavern): Page Ten - I think this page lets itself down again through my lack of artistic confidence; if I’d had the balls to just make it the letter on a black background, it would have had so much more impact. Instead I took the coward’s way out with that rose that doesn’t really mean anything. But anyhow, batter up, the next page is my favourite thing I think I’ve ever ever drawn…
