As an original comic art collector, I’m excited because we are going to dive today into a different corner of the comics collectable market today. There’s been a bit of an upheaval in recent weeks with the exodus of artists from Cadence Comic Art. As many arts look for new representation or in some cases for collaborative opportunities to share the burdens of operating a direct-to-consumer model over the internet, the tried-and-true convention continues to provide a unique pathway not only for purchasing artwork but for interacting with the artists as well. Enter my guests today. Arnaud Lapeyre and Steve Morger are the co-founders of the Lake Como Comic Art Festival, a unique, curated event designed to streamline the traditional convention experience and focus solely on the comic artists and their artwork. This is a one of a kind comic art festival in I guarantee what has to be the most idyllic of locations for something like this. Fandom never got treated so good. With around a month left before the show kicks off, make sure to visit their website for all the details.
