MAY 5TH, 11 am – 6pm
Mini Comic-Con Opening at the Eagle Rock Center for the Arts
If you’ve been to Comic-Con, you know that the small press section might as well not even be there. Hoping to bring the comic convention back to its roots, the *Mini* Comic-Con has rounded up some stand-outs among “the overshadowed vanguard of small press and independent comics”. While I’m very excited to see a lot of new names on the full presenter list, I immediately pounced on the familiar names, and asked them to flash a little leg–figuratively, of course. Here you have it: a sneak peak of the Mini Comic-Con!
DRIPPY BONE BOOKS will be killing it softly at the upcoming Eagle Rock Mini Comic-Con with dozens of underground comix, art zines, prints and tees!!!
The featured title of the show is F’real Real by Pat Aulisio!
[Editor's note: this is a special early release!]
F’real Real is a collection of short comix and madness from Philedelphia’s master of comix, Pat Aulisio. He is the man behind, Yeah Dude Comics, and co-publisher of Secret Prison. His work has been seen in the amazing 3D anthology, Math Fiction, as well as his ongoing series Bowman (Retrofit Comics and Hic and Hoc) and his latest collaboration with the great Josh Bayer, The Unforgiving Sword of Conan!
F’real Real is a limited edition, B&W comic on color paper of the art comix freak in us all!…and because May 5th is FREE COMIC BOOK Day, DDB’s will be offering a free zine, MISS UGLY USA: bad art by Keenan Marshall Keller, to the first 30 customers who make a purchase!!!!
And if all this shit wasn’t enough, Drippy Bone Books will also be carrying the entire i will destroy you catalog for the great Tom Neely, who could not be there!
Rebecca Inducil has been illustrating comics and doing graphic design for years. You might know her from the Eagle Rock Center’s Zine Workshop with Daryl Gussin of Razorcake, or you might not. I’m going out on a limb here, but you can probably expect a lot of animals–especially dogs– in her comic offerings on the 5th. When asked to describe what she’ll be selling at this event, Rebecca responded:
1. a mini-comic about traveling with sine waves2. a compilation of comics i’ve drawn as therapy to myself (see above)3. prints of random art i tossed away in my hard drive4. and MAYBE some canvas bags
@sleepybritt: finished work at 4am, now i can’t sleep. i just want to buy shoes online. sux 2 b me

The Denver Zine Library has a pretty awesome Indie-gogo campaign

Since then, the DZL has moved locations a few times and is now housed in the incredible 27 Social Centre. We are an all-volunteer run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit lending library with over 10,000 donated and cataloged zines on our shelves! We’ve been grateful for the amazing support over the years from zinesters, community members and rad touring folks who have come through and really promoted the power and importance of zines. Read more about the DZL’s history!..
The DZL is asking for your financial support to maintain and expand what we can offer our community, both in the Denver area as well as the zine community at large. Sponsor a zine workshop (at community centers, libraries and classrooms) for $50. Cover the cost of one month’s rent for $100. Help us raise at least $500 towards the planning of the next Denver Zine Fest! Spread the word to your friends and pen pals!
They’ve already exceeded their financial goal, but we know that those Zine Fest expenses can really rack up. Still not convinced about donating? Let Tomas Moniz of Rad Dad, Anna Anti-Palindrome, and Kristy Fenton (Drippy Bone Books; former DZL Librarian) change your mind.
