To Publish or to Self-Publish, That is the Question.
Hosted by Charle Stickney. Featuring Jimmy Palmiotti, Eric Palicki, Amanda Deibert.
Saturday 5/18 3:30pm, 100
For decades the only way to get your comic seen and sold was to be signed by an established publisher. But the rise of crowdfunding has lead to an explosion of self-publishing entrepreneurs. But how do you decide whats the best path for you?
Join three creators who have worked with publishers and served as their own E.I.C. (Jimmy Palmiotti, Harley Quinn, Painkiller Jane, Eric Palicki Blacks Myth, Atlantis Wasn't Built for Tourists and Charlie Stickney, White Ash, former Publisher of Scout Comics) for an in-depth discussion as they dive into what makes most sense for aspiring and established creators in todays rapidly evolving market.
SUNDAY
Discover the Dark & Twisted World of Storm King Comics!
Hosted by Wynter Mitchell. Featuring Sandy Carpenter, Cat Staggs, Amanda Deibert, Sean Sobczak.
Sunday 5/19 12:30pm, 100
Join us for an immersive journey into the newest line from Sandy Kings award-winning Storm King Comics Dark & Twisted. In this panel, we'll explore how we bring horror to the mean streets of Anytown USA with our latest imprint, departing from our traditional supernatural themes to confront the chilling reality of human monsters.
Learn how Dark & Twisted books draw inspiration from true crime stories, some ripped from the headlines, infusing reality into its narrative. We will delve into the creative process behind Death Mask, our inaugural story in this gripping new imprint, and uncover the terror hidden within the mundane in our latest release, Long Haul (by Cullen Bunn and Heath Amodio, art by Andrea Mutti) and provide a sneak preview of an upcoming title, The Killing Hole by Steve Niles.
The panel includes Founder and Editor Sandy King, Managing Editor Sean Sobczak, and Death Mask writer and artist, Amanda Deibert and Cat Staggs, respectively.
Don't miss this chilling discussion where we unravel what drives us to weave the threads of horror into a gritty twist and shine a light on the darkness lurking just beneath the surface of everyday life.

Since then, the publisher, led by celebrated film producer Sandy King Carpenter, has expanded into science fiction and even children’s books. This year, Sandy King Carpenter appears at Comic Con International with exclusive news on the next ten years of blood in four colors, and maybe even shares some insight into her work with her longtime partner and legendary director John Carpenter. Sandy is joined by Storm King creators Cat Staggs and Amanda Deibert (Death Mask), Neo Edmund (The Grimes Town Terror Tales), and more, in a discussion moderated by Popcurse's Ryan J. Downey.

Zibby's Bookstore Author Event! Christine Barker with Amanda Deibert
We're hosting author Christine Barker as she celebrates her memoir, THIRD GIRL FROM THE LEFT! Amanda will be joined in conversation by author, screenwriter, and New York Times bestselling comic book writer, Amanda Deibert.
About the book:
As a middle child in a large military family, Christine just wants to dance. Her parents support her dreams, even if they seem beyond their comprehension. At 20, determined and talented, Christine heads across the country from Santa Fe to New York City and, in a made for-Hollywood story, is chosen for the London cast of A Chorus Line.
While unwilling to fully cut ties with the traditional life her parents envision for her, she finds a new family with the dancers and more fluid, open characters that fill the theater world in London, and later New York, in the ‘70s & ‘80s. Christine learns that one member of her family is equally at home in her new world: Laughlin, her older brother—divorced, a father, ex-military and a corporate lawyer—also makes his way to New York City, where he meets, and begins to build a life, with rising fashion star Perry Ellis. The two men enjoy a partnership and a financial success that Christine both admires. and envies.
She spends much of her free time in their Upper West Side brownstone and Water Island retreat. Soon everyone is talking about a mysterious new disease. As deaths of dancers, theater folk, and eventually friends start to mount, Christine realizes she’s in the middle of an epidemic that neither her traditional family nor the public at large is ready to reckon with. As the AIDS crisis cuts closer and closer, eventually impacting those she loves most, Christine does what she has always done: she strikes her own path.
This memoir is an emotional, honest examination of what it takes to succeed in the competitive world of New York theater, how hard-won dreams can be quickly lost, what it means to redefine family, and the devastating toll AIDS exacted on a generation of artists.
About the authors:
Christine Barker was raised in a military family and spent her childhood moving across Europe and the United States. By the time she started high school, her father had retired from the US Navy and the family returned to Santa Fe, New Mexico, a place they have called home since the 1880s. She devoted herself to the study of dance and at 20 made the brave decision to move to New York City to pursue a career in dance and theater. She appeared in the productions of Promises, Promises, Seesaw, and No, No Nanette before being cast in the London production of the Tony-award-winning A Chorus Line, which opened at the Royal Drury Lane Theater in 1976. She eventually joined the Broadway cast in New York City. Her theatrical life was shaped by Alvin Ailey, Tommy Tune, and finally Michael Bennett. She was working on Broadway when the AIDS epidemic hit and witnessed the tragedy unfold in the theater wings, fashion houses and finally in the hospitals of New York City. In addition to her theater credits, Christine has appeared in numerous national television commercials. She holds an MFA in Writing from Sarah Lawrence College and currently lives in Connecticut.
Amanda's guided gratitude journal, You Already Have the Answers, is based on uplifting questions from her frequently viral Twitter feed. Her comic book writing includes Star Wars Hyperspace Stories (Lucasfilm), Darkwing Duck (Disney/Dynamite) DC Super Hero Girls, Teen Titans Go!, Wonder Woman ’77, Batman and Scooby Doo!, Love is Love (NYT #1 Bestseller) and more for DC Comics, John Carpenter’s Tales for A HalloweeNight volumes 2-8 (Storm King Comics), and more. Her television work includes He-Man and the Masters of the Universe for Netflix and four years as writer for former Vice President Al Gore’s international climate broadcast, 24 Hours of Reality. She lives in Los Angeles with her wife Cat Staggs and their young daughter, Vivienne.
