Long Beach Comic Con and Expo

To our Long Beach Comic Con family, thank you for your patience these last few months while we worked to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic. We were optimistic that the City of Long Beach’s aggressive handling of the outbreak would result in us being able to hold the show in September as scheduled. However, as COVID-19 continues to be an issue in the Long Beach area, the guidance we have received is that large gatherings will not be allowed for the foreseeable future, and... therefore, we are making the difficult decision to cancel Long Beach Comic Con for 2020. If we have an opportunity to produce a smaller version of the show at any point over the next 12 months, we’ll reach out with details, but for now, we are confirmed for Long Beach Comic Con 2021 on September 4 & 5th. Notices to exhibitors, guests & attendees who purchased tickets will be sent today with options for refunds, etc. Please stay safe, friends.

It was a pleasure to have Fanbase Press with us at #LBCE2020! Fanbase Press recently launched its 10th anniversary celebration with the release of the QUINCE: THE DEFINITIVE BILINGUAL EDITION hardcover. Lupe is just your average, insecure, well-meaning, occasionally cranky teenage girl whose life is completely turned upside down when she discovers she has superpowers at her quinceañera. Her quince powers only last as long as she’s fifteen, so over the course of this rollerc...oaster year, we follow the adventures of Lupe as she figures out what it really means to be a hero. http://fanbasepress.com/index.php/publishing/comics/quince
