Image Comic Expo -- Oakland Bound!

Howdy all!

It's Thursday night and I know what you're thinking: "How can I bring peace to my life by knowing for sure that next weekend will be awesome?"  The answer, which I'll admit is a bit of a drive unless you happen to live in Oakland, CA, is the Image Comic Expo!  Beginning next Friday, February 24 ~ 26, some of the highest-profile creators in the industry will gather together at the Oakland Convention Center for a massive event made by comics creators, FOR comics creators!  The roster of Guests of Honor?  Damn, where to start..  Let's just say, the list is long.  Power through it though, and you'll spot in the Artists Alley section an entry for your friendly neighborhood indy publisher: CCP Comics!

So who in the crew will you sidle up to at the venue?

McLain McGuire, our illustrious Editor in Chief!  Swing by his table for portfolio feedback, inquiries about the company, Ryan Ottley fanboyism, or better yet to buy some beautiful high-quality CCP Comics!

Rita Moore, one of the hardest-working artists I've ever met.  Those of you who've met us at shows might know her best as "that chick doing the really nice watercolors".  Us, we know her as many things.  Penciler, inker, colorist, webmaster, freelancer, businesswoman, host to meetings, one of the most active of our members at events, one of the most credited of our members across CCP's oeuvre, and (not undeservedly) That Poor Girl who's replaced all her blood with energy drink.  This past week has been no exception, and I hope it pays off -- Because once she's done, she gets to go out to ImageCon and debut her brand-new half-issue preview of her creator-written FLIP Relapse!  Then, God willing, she'll come back to ATX and get a lot of sleep.

Matt Campbell, renowned creator of the webcomic Mythica, penciler of the Make-A-Wish Foundation's Electron Boy one-shot, artist for the preview of our upcoming series Station 39, and pin-up artist extraordiare.  Be sure to hit his table for his debut of the first complete printed-paper issue of Mythica!

Eroll See, world-famous karaoke bard and illustrator on Saint, Borderwall, and The Adventures of Justin Time & Jenny Power.  Drop by to check out his latest prints as well as his centerpiece -- a portfolio of his selected pencilwork!

I've hit my limit of exclamation points, so I'll just leave it at this:  If you're going to the Image Comic Expo, you should come say hello to these fine people.  While you're at it, you should bring your friends, your family, your portfolios -- and maybe $3 to $5, so you can walk home with a fresh-printed CCP Comic to call your very own.
