This band plays together, lives together…and unfortunately two of them are sleeping together. Whatever, I’m sure it’s fine. Now put on your punk’n mask and let’s rock!
Hannah Lipsky isn’t sure what’s happening. She dreamed of becoming a fine art painter, but after breaking up with her girlfriend, she’s suddenly dropped out of art school, moved into a flophouse, and gotten roped into singing in a campy horror-punk band. With costumes. To make things even more complicated, she might be hooking up with her housemate/bandmate/high school crush, Jerry. Wherever this is leading, it’s going to be messy.

Piper can’t take care of herself. She barely eats, and her apartment is a mess. In a last desperate attempt to quick-fix her life, she decides to order a food delivery service. But her first delivery includes an unexpected arrival: an unsettlingly baby-shaped vegetable. Its pudgy plant hands and feet may be too cute to eat, but Piper is about to learn that caring for another is far more complicated than caring for yourself. Especially if you love the other more than yourself…

The Small Press Expo has posted all of the programming panels from SPX 2023 on YouTube to watch!
Sometimes, the most effective horror stories aren’t about jump scares and blood. Sometimes, they spring out of mundane and everyday situations, slowly turning reality into something terrifying. Be it a dog that slowly takes over someone’s life, demons silently interfering with a couple, or a woman’s desperate need for motherhood driving her to terrifying extremes, the horror of the everyday is often the most terrifying because it feels so familiar. Join moderator Dr. Rachel S. Miller along with panelists Nicole Goux (Pet Peeves), Julia Gfrörer (Too Dark To See, Vision), Beth Hetland (Tender), and King Ray (Phonestoned) as they explore their own takes on horror.
Small Press Expo has announced the second list of Special Guests for SPX 2023. The show takes place on Saturday September 9 and Sunday September 10 with programming and workshops about the amazing world of independent comics and an exhibitor floor with over 500 creators.
MariNaomi, Bill Griffith, Nicole Goux, Hannah Templer, Eddie Campbell, Rob Kirby, Joel Priddy,and Raeghan Buchanan have been revealed as Special Guests for SPX 2023.
Additional Special Guests will be announced over the next few days.
MariNaomi
MariNaomi is an award-winning illustrator and banned-book author who must dig into their past in order to come to terms with the death of a close friendship in their latest book I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME from Fieldmouse Press. Using a gorgeous mix of collage and drawing, Mari excavates their own journals, ephemera, and mind to piece together their relationship with Jodie, and why it tumultuously ended.
Bill Griffith
Join Bill Griffith, creator of Zippy the Pinhead and Nobody’s Fool, to celebrate Three Rocks, a biography of cartoonist Ernie Bushmiller, creator of the iconic comic strip Nancy.
Nicole Goux
Nicole Goux is an Eisner Award nominated illustrator and cartoonist from Los Angeles. Her latest book that she’ll be signing at SPX is the fantastic Pet Peeves, released in May 2023 by Avery Hill Publishing. Pet Peeves is a magical realist urban horror story that touches on the nature of modern work-lives, creative enterprise and self-destructiveness.
Hannah Templer
Hannah Templer is best known as the writer and artist of the Ignatz-nominated graphic novel series COSMOKNIGHTS (published by Top Shelf, readable online at www.cosmoknights.space), in which a ragtag band of queer gladiators, princesses, and rebels battle the galactic patriarchy through a series of neo-medieval jousting tournaments.
Eddie Campbell
Eddie Campbell started calling his hand-stapled comics “small press” in 1981 when everybody else was saying “alternative” “underground” and “zines.” He takes some pleasure in seeing that the term has stuck. He self-published his comic book BACCHUS for 60 issues as well as the collected FROM HELL (with Alan Moore). His autobiographical concoctions form his favorite strain of his own work. This strain was collected in ALEC: THE YEARS HAVE PANTS and emerges again in his new back-to-back reversible book, THE SECOND FAKE DEATH OF EDDIE CAMPBELL / THE FATE OF THE ARTIST.
Rob Kirby
Rob Kirby will be signing his new book, the graphic memoir Marry Me a Little at the Graphic Mundi table (periodically during the weekend)… Appearing in a spotlight panel… Moderating a panel… Possibly another panel, not sure.
Joel Priddy
Greek myth has inspired stories and art for millennia. And yet some stories and characters remain unfamiliar. First There Was Chaos, by Joel Priddy, explores the formless, primordial, and extraordinary forces that preceded the Olympian gods. These tales of Creation illustrate the creative process, giving cosmic form to the universal struggles of all creators.
Raeghan Buchanan
Raeghan Buchanan will be at SPX this year as part of panels and book signings for “The Secret History of Black Punk: Record Zero” which is published by Silver Sprocket. The Secret History of Black Punk delvse into the largely overlooked footprint that Black punks have on the underground music scene in a new archival publication. It is an illustrated roll-call for punk, post-punk, hardcore, no-wave, and experimental bands from ground zero ‘til now. A starting point for anyone curious, another reference for those who devour all genre-related things, or a cool artifact for anyone in the know.
In this mini art-book full of lush illustrations, artist Nicole Goux captures the sacred rites of getting ready to go out: the quiet before the party, the anticipation before the date, and the spiritual creation of self in the safe space of your inner sanctuary.
