We've previously revealed the floor plan in any case you might get lost. But this time around Komikon has officially released a more detailed layout on who’s who of independent publishers at the Independent Komiks Tiangge.
There’s also a lot of indie komiks going to be launched on this one day event so keep your eyes peeled for some interesting finds and as everyone has reiterated just load up your funds for this weekend as things will be crazy.
If you have no idea how the map would look like now in its colorful detail check out the much improved detail that you might need to print out…
The floor plan also has the list of exhibitors that you might find time to check out where to get your komiks fix as this is just a one day event that you need to find time to meet and greet the artists and indie publishers.
There are other notable independent publishers and artists will be showing their wares during Komikon 2012 and we start with Indieket’s top selling title in the Crime-Fighting Call Center Agents which will release its latest issue this Saturday.
If they have sold out in the previous Komikon Indieket then chances are this will happen again so if you have time to drop by their table grab the latest copy of the Crime-Fighting Call Center Agents.
Another artist who will be parading his wares is Ariel Atienza known for his creations in Class and The West Side which both appear in newspapers here and abroad. The silent but deadly bearded wonder is one of the people behind Komkon’s success since it started in 2005 and if you haven’t seen his works this might be a first to check it out.
Besides a big fan of Skottie Young and Sergio Aragones as one of his influences he has furry creature friends to inspire him to make you laugh at his strips. You can catch him seated along Lyndon Gregorio the creator of the Beerkada phenomenon.
