Holy Rose City Batman! I’m back in Portland for third Rose City Comic Con and really looking forward to the amazing conversations, cosplay and meeting fans. This comic and artist focused con has been one of my favorites over the years! I love talking to artists about their creative process, inspirations and challenges of success (and failure) in the pop culture industry. My schedule:

4:30 Terry Moore: cartoonist, known for the series Strangers in Paradise and the founding of Homage Comics.
