( cover by @jean-wei ) I've seen a lot of posts on Tumblr from individual comic authors about their comics in the fair, but I haven't seen any main posts about the fair itself, so it's time to create one I guess!! But I'm not good at copy, so I'm just gonna steal words and assets from the site to make the post. Please check it out, it's really cool and I am worried it's not getting as much attention as it should thanks to how killed the ex-bird-site is now. <3

ShortBox Comics Fair is an innovative and pioneering digital comics fair, with participating artists from around the world all debuting new, original comics!

The aim of the fair is to serve as both a creative impetus for artists to make something new, and to provide a platform for fresh and unique independent comics, gathered in one place.

ShortBox Comics Fair is an accessible, comics-focused event: artists and comics readers can participate from anywhere in the world (no travel, no con-crud, no lugging suitcases full of comics back and forth!).

The fair takes place annually throughout October. Exhibiting artists retain full ownership/rights of their comics and receive 100% of sales (minus payment processing fees).
