The show is now open to all independent art creators – including comic books, visual arts, music, zines, photography and poetry – but the emphasis will still be on graphic novels.

The expo will take place Sept. 9 at First Presbyterian Church, 201 Wick Ave., from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will include panel discussions by comic-book artists. A local band is being sought to sell its music and play a half-hour set at the end of the expo. For information and a vendor contract, email Rivera1082@gmail.com.
