Art by Paul Hornschemeier
LAST WEEKEND, the Small Press Expo (SPX) wrapped up its 13th year of celebrating the union of words and pictures. Express' Scott Rosenberg and Christopher Porter were there to cover the event, using an incredibly high-end video camera to interview a few of the more than 400 artists, writers and publishers who swarm North Bethesda every year for the premier gathering of independent comic book creators. We will be uploading SPX videos all week long, so keep this link handy and check back often.
