This weekend, comics fans converge in Bethesda, Maryland, for the Small Press Expo, the annual celebration of independent comics and their creators! CBLDF will be on hand at table W84-87 with books and signings by Jeffrey Brown, Charles Burns, Ben Hatke, and Faith Erin Hicks!
CBLDF will have early release copies of Charles Burns’ Last Look with a CBLDF-exclusive bookplate and Mighty Jack by Ben Hatke! We will also have Jeffrey Brown’s latest, Lucy and Andy Neanderthal, and plenty of his Star Wars book on hand!
We’ll also have other signed premiums and CBLDF exclusive goodies, like the Comics Code Authority enamel pin, perfect for the comics-reading fashionista! You’ll also be able to grab free copies of the latest issue of CBLDF Defender, featuring a cover by Black Panther artist Brian Stelfreeze, and the CBLDF Banned Books Week Handbook, featuring a cover by March artist and SPX special guest Nate Powell!
