December 27th – January 2nd will be….LOCAL COMICS WEEK!
Diamond Distribution, the biggest (and pretty much only) comics distributor will be taking a long winter’s nap that week and will not be shipping new comics…leaving comic fans without their weekly fix.
But not to worry, because as with a lot of comics, there are heroes to count on! Those heroes, ladies and gentlemen, are US!
We will create and sell our own comics and provide the city with comic books and save the planet once and for all!Â
Here’s the plan:  Big Brain Comics has generously allowed the Conspiracy to take over their New Release racks for the week. Customers who are looking for their weekly comics will be introduced to the world of local comics.
Here’s the info: If you want to participate, have 20 copies of a mini comic printed by DECEMBER 3RD. You can bring your comics to the jam that month or you can arrange to have them mailed to me by contacting me at bob (at) uptowngirlcomic.com. The mini comic should have a cover price of $3.  Consignment details are still being worked out.Â
The comics will be delivered to Big Brain on December 28th
and will go on sale the next day on December 30th (new comic day!)
The comics will be on sale until January 5th.  Any money made will be able to be picked up January’s jam on the 7th.Â
Â
If you want to participate, please contact me by NOVEMBER 15th.Â
Thanks to Kevin Cannon for creating the logo for the event!
This is an awesome idea! There is also something similar to it called Indie Comic Book Week. Here is the link: http://www.indycomicbookweek.com/index.html
I am a local cartoonist, I do indeed have a comic that I would love to sell but I need some information on printers i.e. locations and most importantly cost. I would also like to know how long it takes for the comics to be printed up. I need help is what I guess I’m trying to say. If someone would please contact me by e-mail or phone I would be so grateful.I have one page of my comic as my profile picture on face book@Lance Ward and I did a couple of pages at the december 2004 jam (paul bunyun steps on a cat and the cat is stuck to his shoe). I had a couple of heart attacks after that and my health declined but now I have been working steadily on my epic “KLONKO”. Call me at 651-458-8660.
