The Stumptown Comics Fest was started almost on a whim in 2004 by a small group of Portland-area cartoonists lamenting the lack of local convention-style outlets. While there were certainly other comic book shows in town, there weren't any that gave much attention to the artists themselves. The dream was to design a festival with the creators as its focus, rather than dealers and work-for-hire publishers.
This year's special guests include: Kurt Busiek, Stan Sakai, Dan Piraro, Chris Samnee, Mike & Laura Allread, Ted Naifeh, Nate Powell, Pete Bagge, Matthew Southworth, Brian Hurtt, Steve Lieber, Jeff Lemire, Brian Churilla, Farel Dalrymple, Brandon Seifert, Jamie S. Rich, Joëlle Jones, Nico Hitori de, Lukas Ketner, Ryan Alexander-Tanner, Bill Ayers and more!
