The last comic book event I attended was Portland’s Stumptown Comics Fest. I was a bit overwhelmed at how many people attended the fest and related events. I attempted to document the fest, which resulted in photos like these:

Comic book readers and makers are neat.

I just like the Tron covers.

So as you can see, I am not the most focused attendee. Further evidenced by the fact that I did not take any photos of the Multnomah County Library’s display table [or with the oversized library card]. I think I was so excited to see them there that it slipped my mind. They had comics available for check out at the table, as well as a bunch of swag and information about zines at the library and around Portland. It was of course, a pleasure and a joy to see MultCoLib representin’ at the fest.

I’m sure I will attend more comic book/anime events in the future, but should I mention them in retrobacklore.net, do not expect a typical overview. Instead you will get a few unfocused photos, maybe a list of items purchased and why, and probably a lengthy description of the hairdos sported by the folks at the Sparkplug Comics table and Captain Harlock costume comparisons. Sorry?
