  • MICE 2012 is this weekend!

    In case you’ve been living under some rock that doesn’t broadcast news about the underground comics scene (I know, what are the odds, right?), MICE 2012 is this weekend, September 29th. What is MICE, you ask? Why it’s the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo, a huge event celebrating comics and the people that make them. MICE is a co-production of the Boston Comics Roundtable and the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University.

    Want to learn more about MICE from a trusted source. Then may we point you towards this huge article that the Boston Globe published all about MICE and the BCR.

    Come to the show to meet nearly a hundred independent local comics creators, special guest stars Robert Sikoryak and Box Brown, and more.

    Free Admission!
    Sep 29th, 2012, 10 am – 7 pm

    Hellbound II

    Hellbound II cover by Jesse Lonergan

    Published by Ninth Art Press

    Produced by River Bird Comics

    Cover Art and Editor Jesse Lonergan

    92 pages ~ $10 | Black & White | 6 x 9 inches
    New England’s most disturbed comic creators present a dozen nightmares in black and white: a fiend in the next hospital bed, a comic book that drives men to murder, a plague with feathers, a love-triangle in a cemetery… plus a whole unholy host of demons, psychos and misunderstood monsters. These will be your companions for a cozy evening of blood and gore and over-the-top horror as you snuggle up with the second volume of Hellbound.

    We’d like to give a big thanks to BCR member Franklin Einspruch for putting this incredibly useful calendar. It compiles nearly all the notable comic book shows for 2012. Most are in the U.S., but a few international shows also get a mention.

    Read the original post on (the shockingly-still-available-URL) comiccons.org, a site that Franklin set up. If you have another show you’d like to add, he urges you to contact him directly.
