Small Press Expo (SPX) is the preeminent showcase for the exhibition of independent comics, graphic novels, and alternative political cartoons. SPX regularly brings together more than 550 artists and publishers to meet their readers, booksellers, and distributors each year for a two day convention.

The Ignatz Awards are held every year by SPX, with the awards recognizing outstanding achievement in comics and cartooning.

Along with this year’s nominees, SPX has revealed The Ignatz Archive.

This new feature on the SPX web site will be the home for all past Ignatz nominees and winners. The last 4 years of Ignatz Awards are already online. They’ll be continually adding to this valuable piece of indie comics history over time.
