Short Run Comix Festival

(Fest poster designed by Special Guest Rahel Suesskind)

In an age of online living and digital social currency, the importance of up close and personal connections is greater than ever. Whether you’re an independent comic artist looking for like-minded peers, a collector of unique comic books you won’t find anywhere else, or a fan of weird comic art looking to meet your favorite artists from Instagram, it’s more than worth it to visit Short Run on Nov. 1st.
