SUPERMARKET this Sunday! (updated)

It's short notice but if you're not tied up cleaning your gutters or shaving your back, come down to Meltdown Comics this Sunday, March 30th for the one-day, independent jam of comics and publishing called super*MARKET L.A.

From noon to 6pm, a bunch of indie comic guys (who work in animation) are doing a little mini convention right inside the hallowed halls of "The Melt"! So if you wanna see my ugly mug while perusing work from talented people, come on down and hang with us. Signed copies of RANDOM ANOMALIES, WAYWARD TRAVELLER and STEEL NOODLES: A Slice of Heaven will be on hand as well. You really don't have to buy anything. My kids just won't go to college that's all... Even our good friend and bookseller extraordinaire Stuart Ng will be there and has promised to bring a small batch of French titles, some procured during his recent visit to Angouleme, France for the International Book Fair.

Check out SuperMarket LA's straightforward mission statement:

super*MARKET is a quarterly independent comics event based in Los Angeles. We aim to provide a regular salon for comic makers, lovers, and haters alike so that the gap between creators and readers shrinks down to an uncomfortable closeness. Though it's focused locally on Los Angeles, everyone is welcome (listen, we're not going to kick an out-of-stater out of bed, we're just sayin'). By determining a focus or theme for each event, we are able to cover varied genres within indie comics from goth to cry-baby.

Now if that doesn't get you pumped then you're pretty much dead. Here are the particulars once again:
