Portland Indie Con

General announcement: Given the ongoing pandemic, this year's Portland Indie Con has been delayed and will resume in June 2022 at the earliest. We considered a virtual event but have opted to simply postpone the convention another year in hopes of returning to a wholly in-person format.

In the interim, we hope our sponsors, fans and supportive creators alike stay safe and healthy. We encourage you to visit your local comic shop and look forward to seeing you next year.

That's a wrap...until next year!

A heartfelt thanks goes out to all of the special guests, exhibitors and attendees who made the first Portland Indie Con a success!

We're already planning the 2020 iteration of the show so be sure to check in at the end of August for dates and other essential details.

We appreciate all of the complementary social media buzz about the show and look forward to a bigger and better con next time out.

Portland Indie Con Tie-in Event #1: del Duca Sisters Reading at Books with Pictures

Just like any good comic book crossover, Portland Indie Con is cross-promoting a couple of creator readings the night before the show.

First up: Books with Pictures presents a joint reading by the del Duca sisters!

Leila del Duca is a comic book artist and writer living in Portland, Oregon. She draws SLEEPLESS, SHUTTER and wrote AFAR at Image Comics. She is now working on an autobiographical comic about growing up in rural Montana, being polyamorous, and following her passion of art. She'll be presenting pictures and reading snippets from this currently un-named autobio comic.

Rosa del Duca is a San Francisco Bay Area writer and musician. Her debut memoir Breaking Cadence: One Woman's War Against the War chronicles her journey from eager Montana National Guard recruit to conscientious objector during the Iraq War. It's being hailed as a "page-turner," "gripping," "beautifully-written" and "vital." The book is published by Portland State University's very own Ooligan Press.

Join us for a night of reading, music, snacks and conversation. Friday, June 28th, 6 p.m.
