For the second year we will be doing an open house with the newly renamed Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum on the Ohio State Campus. We will be there with some of the exhibitors starting the annual jam panel. There will be a tour of the cartoon stacks of the world’s largest collection of newspaper strip originals. If you haven’t already bought tickets to SPACE we will also be handing out single day passes to the first 20 people through the door.
Back at SPACE proper we will be presenting the Trickster Exhibit all weekend. Trickster is a four year long project edited by Matt Dembicki featuring original art from Evan Keeling, Mike Short and Andrew Cohen, Pat Lewis and Andy Bennett and more.
The book features trickster stories from more than 20 Native American storytellers illustrated by some of today's most dynamic indie comics artists! And we’re proud it will be premiering here at SPACE!
We will also have a full slate of programing all weekend with panels covering topics such as webcomics, horror, writing, and the 2009 SPACE Prize presentations.
