Festival Programming Schedule

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 Saturday, Nov. 7th. For 14 years, Short Run Comix Festival has been a confluence of professional artists and casual hobbyists who look forward to a community gathering not watered down by corporatization (please do not call us a “comic-con”!!) Come join the DIY takeover of the Seattle Design Center in Georgetown!  Read more…
