The Second Coming of Roach(es)

Underground Comic Returns From The Grave In A Second Edition
Publisher to world: "If we don't fund this childish drivel - the competition will."
Roaches Schmitt Comic

It's hard to admit but I have learned many, many lessons since I first published this book as a webcomic. The first one was that not everyone is a fan of low brow, underground comics. Go figure.

To illustrate this point: there are 1,000 Sonic and Nintendo based webcomics and only one about cockroaches. This also supports the second thing I learned since 2010: people do not like originality.

All kidding aside, the most important thing I learned is that people will give you the benefit of the doubt in order to improve your craft. This includes all the good folks who have stopped by my table at cons, comic shop management who took a chance on my book, record store owners who gave me the time of day and other artists who talked shop about art and marketing. This last part helped me develop a crumby webcomic into a better book.

Summit City is a HUGE Con with hundreds of creators. This a big development for Roaches, Gargantuan Media and myself as guy who made his first comic in 6th grade and has been into underground comics since junior high.

I am in the first row of booths at A13 will be armed with freebies for you guys and I will sketch any character from any series as a roach for only $10 bucks American!

This is my biggest con to date and I will be loaded up with Roaches, posters and maybe even some new mini-comics. I'll also autograph books, new posters and custom merchandise with purchase. Come and get art and books from an Indiana artist at an Indiana comic con whydontcha already?

Above is a look at my current table set-up for comic cons. As you can see, it's flipping loaded. I've got Roaches books, flyers and six kinds of bookmarks, plus stickers for the comic con going public. My goal going forward is to have something for everyone - kids, hipsters, parents and teens.
