A Cornupcopia of Small Press and Self-Published Comics => And, coming in November: Destination Dealers Con!

Posted on 25 October 13:10 (8 days ago)

Feast your eyes on this rich variety of new and restock small press and self-published comics all recently arrived and posted here on the site.

AND, mark your calendars: On Saturday, November 22, 2025, from 11am to 7:00pm, it's... Destination Dealers Con! "And what’s that?” you may very well ask. Well, it’s a one-of-a-kind event the likes of which haven’t been seen in Pittsburgh since… maybe ever! It’s the brainchild of Frank Santoro, who wanted to revive the old school vibe of back issues and longboxes, of talking shop and geeking out, and hanging with some of your favorite comics creators (see below). It is being held at a unique space located at 799 Barclay Avenue in Forest Hills, 15221 (that has plenty of free parking, just FYI.) Also: FREE ADMISSION

In addition to Santoro himself, the currently scheduled guests are:

Sammy Harkham
Dan Nadel
Kevin Huizenga
Jim Rugg
Tom Scioli
Chris Pitzer
Nate McDonough
Cameron Arthur

Audra Stang

Matthew Dowdy

& John "Dummy Zine" Kelly

Plus, on the dealer side:

Doomed Planet Comics
Mind Cure Records
… with more to follow

And, of course, Copacetic Comics will be there, as well. Watch this space for further updates...

Just Sayin'...

During these days of derangement, a helpful reminder from William Shakespeare:

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

To the last syllable of recorded time;

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

– Macbeth, Act V, Scene V
