The San Jose Comics Fest is sponsored by SLG Publishing, America's Coolest Comic Book Publisher.

A quarterly mini-convention, Comics Fest celebrates independent comics, DIY culture and everything cool and good in life.

The first show of the year showcases mostly local talent and mainly SLG creators including: Jamaica Dyer (Weird Fishes), Tom Hodges (Clone Wars web comic), Mel Smith (Gumby) and Vernon White (Birdhouse).

Eric Searlman (VIZ Comics) and Dan Vado (SLG Publishing) will be on hand to review portfolios.
