East bay parker

VERY excited that Comics conventioning has returned to the Bay Area so I can be tabling at Comic Con Oakland from May 9th to 10th, at F-05! I will bring whatever books I can fit in luggage, but I will definitely have copies of BLIGHTER which is still impossible to get without seeing me in person. I don't think I'll hae any copies of the new STITCH BOOK yet, but who knows. I'll be doing a post about that next week, for the 626 fans out there. Doing a couple of panels this weekend with my creative pals, hope some of you can make either/both:

How do you make a living in comics? When should you start your first book? (Is AI cool?) What makes comics, y’know, good? Jeff Parker (Interman, Thunderbolts) & David Brothers (Time Waits, Good Devils) may not have all the answers, but they do have a unique perspective on the comics and manga industries, strong takes on the very best of storytelling, and advice on effectively collaborating in comics. Make sure you keep an eye out for a special guest or two and a giveaway, too!
