APE continues to be on the forefront of the self-publishing movement. Its latest event featured over 400 exhibitors, including some of the leading independent comics publishers, plus hundreds of creators and self-publishers, and over 5,000 attendees. In addition to its Exhibit Hall, APE features a full programming schedule, special guests, workshops, and the Comic Creator Connection (CCC), a program featured at all three Comic-Con sponsored events. The CCC pairs up aspiring comics writers and artists, in hopes of creating the next great comics collaboration.


The special guest list for APE 2013 includes:
  • Colleen Coover, Eisner Award-winning artist and co-creator (with husband Paul Tobin) of Bandette
  • Bill Griffith, the legendary creator of Zippy the Pinhead

  • Diane Noomin, creator of DiDi Glitz and editor of the Twisted Sisters anthologies of women cartoonists.

  • Paul Tobin, Eisner Award-winning writer and co-creator (with wife Colleen Coover) of Bandette
  • Ron Turner, Bay area comix and publishing legend behind Last Gasp
  • Dan Vado, SLG Publshing head and APE founder
This is your chance to meet new illustrators, cartoonists, and graphic novelists, you can ask them about portfolios or how they got started. If you go to the website you can signup a head of time for a personalized portfolio review This is an awesome event for all...! Extra credit for anyone that goes and shows me a picture of themselves from the sales floor. I will be going all day on Sunday the 13, all are welcome to join me.
