Join Prism Comics this weekend at the Alternate Press Expo (APE) in San Francisco! Expanding its presence this year with two tables, Prism will feature creator signings throughout the weekend along with hosting the “Queer Cartoonists Panel”, moderated by Justin Hall. APE will be held at The Concourse, 620 7th Street, in San Francisco, California.
“The queer comics community in San Francisco is growing by leaps and bounds,” says Ted Abenheim, Prism’s Events Chair. “We have expanded our presence to reflect this growth.”
Prism will be located at tables #338 and #339, close to the front of the hall, and will feature signings by creators such as Charles “Zan” Christensen (Mark of Aeacus) and William O. Tyler (Fairies Tell).
The latest scheduled creator signings are listed below:

Justin Hall, Prism’s Talent Relations Chair, will be presenting his sixth annual “Queer Cartoonists Panel” on Saturday, October 17 from 2:15-3:15pm.
This popular panel will discuss depictions of sexuality and gender in comics, getting work out to a niche market, and how to draw a great looking butt! LGBT cartoonists Brian Andersen (So Super Duper), Sina Grace (Cedric Hollows), Jeff Krell(Jayson Goes to Hollywood), Dale Lazarov (Sticky, Nightlife), William Tyler (The Goth Queen Needs a Mate), and Leia Weathington (Bold Riley) join moderator Hall (Hard To Swallow, Glamazonia) for a spirited conversation ranging from the sublime to the sordid.
