Stumptown Comics Fest |
| Remarks |
The annual Stumptown Comics Fest is the the largest comic book convention in Portland, Oregon, dedicated primarily to the artists, writers, and publishers who make everyone’s favorite comics! Our goal is, as ever, to take over the world with comics. Help us, won’t you?
|
| About |
“The Stumptown Comics Fest is the largest creator-focused comic arts show in the Pacific Northwest. Featuring over 200 exhibitors and a full weekend of panels and workshops….
The Stumptown Comics Fest was started almost on a whim in 2004 by a small group of Portland-area cartoonists lamenting the lack of local convention-style outlets. While there were certainly other comic book shows in town, there weren’t any that gave much attention to the artists themselves. The dream was to design a festival with the creators as its focus, rather than dealers and work-for-hire publishers.” |

Faerieworlds is happy to support our friends at the Portland Pirate Festival: in addition to a cash payment by Faerieworlds, a portion of net ticket sales will be donated to the Festival.”
