The Boston Comics Roundtable is very excited to be an exhibitor at Boston Comic Con 2015. We will be launching our latest anthology Spellbound, which will be available for purchase for only $8! Our past anthologies will also be available along with an assortment of work from our members.
We will also be hosting a number of featured artists, including:
Eric Boeker
(Fri. July 31, 12−1 pm)
Ever since he can remember, Eric Boeker has wanted to grow up to be a cartoonist, which is why he (like all other aspiring cartoonists) studied German Literature and grew up to be an engineer. 
Thankfully, his cartoonist tendencies could not be repressed, and in 2005 he began to actively work on various independent cartoon projects, including creating the weekly, Gen-X, zombie sitcom comic “Commute of the Living Dead,” which can be seen on-line as part of Dig Boston’s Sunday Comics Project and at www.commuteofthelivingdead.com. He is also known to draw giant monsters and cute animals wearing dashing hats, when under extreme duress. Eric is a proud member of the Boston Comics Roundtable, a Boston-based collective of comic book artists and writers.
(Fri. July 31, 2−3 pm)
Greg Moutafis has illustrated an eclectic mix of projects for Cengage, Caliber Comics, Children’s Hospital Boston, Jetpack Press, and Lollipop music magazine. His current release is the full color miniseries Boom!Squad with writer David Crouse.
(Fri. July 31, 4−5 pm)
Bob Flynn is a cartoonist and character designer known for his work in SpongeBob Comics, Nickelodeon Magazine, and Heeby Jeeby Comix. He heads up the art team as Director of Art & Animation at Boston-based FableVision Studios. Bob has also served as lead character designer on the animated series, Bravest Warriors, having designed fan-favorite characters including Catbug, Impossibear, Jelly Kid, and Plum…as well as shaping the look of all sorts of cute little creatures and weird monsters.

Heide Solbrig
(Sat. August 1, 2−3 pm)
Heide Solbrig, the mind behind WhateverFloatsYourBoat Productions, is a writer, filmmaker, and media artist. Solbrig’s scholarly and media work examines the history of capitalism and concentrates on what some have described as ‘economic storytelling,’ i.e., stories about how economics, history, and politics impact us in deeply personal ways. While Solbrig’s work engages with politics, personal narrative, and experimental media forms—she will admit to liking accessible serial narrative quite a bit as well—she is a fan of Joss Whedon as well as other independent fantasy, science fiction, and comic book forms. Her graphic novel The Dandelion King is available for purchase.
