Discover Indie Comics Creator Con, a vibrant event showcasing indie comic talents. Join the revolution and celebrate creativity!
New Haven, Connecticut, is set to become the epicenter of indie comics excitement as the Indie Comics Creator Con (IC3) debuts on March 9, 2024, at Southern Connecticut State University. This dynamic event marks the launch of an annual comic book convention dedicated to showcasing independent creators’ diverse talents and visionary ideas within the comic book medium. Unlike traditional comic book conventions, IC3 is a unique gathering that spotlights creator-driven comics and their innovative stories.
The Adanti Student Center, nestled in the heart of Southern Connecticut State University, provides a stunning backdrop for IC3. With its spacious ballroom housing the showroom floor and an adjacent 200-seat movie theater hosting enlightening panel discussions, attendees will have the perfect setting to explore, connect, and celebrate the world of independent comics.
IC3 is the brainchild of industry veteran Matthew Sardo, who believes that the golden age of self-published comics is now. As the Convention Director, Sardo envisions IC3 as a convention and a neighborhood block party where attendees can immerse themselves in the camaraderie of fellow creators and enthusiasts. Set against the backdrop of Southern Connecticut State University’s Adanti Student Center, IC3 aims to create a welcoming space for emerging voices and fresh concepts.
The launch of IC3 is made possible through a Kickstarter campaign that offers backers exclusive perks like discounted tickets, limited-edition convention posters by notable artists, and the inaugural Indie Comics Creator Con pin. There’s a unique Stay-At-Home ticket option for those who can’t attend in person, allowing participation from anywhere.
IC3’s mission is not just about a single event but a long-term commitment to fostering independent creativity. In addition to the Kickstarter perks, backers can secure lifetime passes, becoming a fundamental part of IC3’s growth and legacy. Backers can also contribute to the Indie Comics Yearbook, a comprehensive collection celebrating independent comic creators worldwide.
IC3 calls upon comic book enthusiasts, creators, readers, and fans to support this extraordinary initiative. By backing the Kickstarter campaign and becoming part of the Independent Comic Creator Community, you can contribute to the growth of independent art and ideas in the comic book world.
