The Ladies of Comicazi, who represent an inclusive community devoted to consuming, critiquing, and creating comics and pop culture, are teaming up with their homebase, Comicazi, to bring the third annual LadiesCon to the Armory in Somerville on September 22, 2018.
The free one-day show will present writers, artists, creators, and artisans specializing in comics, fantasy, and science fiction, with a particular emphasis on creators who identify as women, LGBTQ, non-binary, and people of color, as well as local artists. Attendees will have the chance to meet creators, buy books and crafts, and see panels on a variety of topics, women in comics retail, the history of fandom, and nerdy knitting.
Guests include Marjorie Liu - Eisner and Hugo award winner and author of Monstress, winner of two Einser awards and artist on Squirrel Girl Erica Henderson, Kristen Gudsnuk - creator of Henchgirl and just released graphic novel Making Friends and Ming Doyle - writer and artist on Constantine and artist for DC Comics upcoming Anatomy of a Metahuman.
