Wow! Look at all those little pink stars! Each one is a table where you will find queer artists and/or queer stories. (Dang, comics has gotten real queer, folks.)
It’s also exciting to me that SPX has 4 LGBTQ special guests this yes: Molly Ostertag, Lawrence Lindell, Ngozi Ukazu, and… drumroll… REBECCA SUGAR.
Here’s the list of who these fine people all are:
