Family Style at WonderCon! New Titles!

Family Style will be exhibiting at WonderCon in San Francisco for the first time ever! WonderCon is definitely a more mainstream/superhero/cosplay sort of event than Family Style is used to exhibiting at, but we've been long-time attendees, and we always have a fun time, so we've decided to try it out this year! Jonas will be sharing our table with Kane Lynch, creator of The Relics.

Jonas has a big new story in the latest issue of Papercutter from Tugboat Press, which he'll have for sale at the Family Style table! The story, “The Most Gripping Mind-Exploding Triumphantly Electric of Our Time,” is a fantastic nested tale that intermixes science fiction and mythopoetic elements to remarkable effect.

François can't attend WonderCon, but his long-delayed fifth issue of Bird Brain will be premiereing at the show! This issue of his ongoing nature journal series features illustrations and field notes from his vacation to Louisiana and Arkansas last summer, and includes coverage of the then-ongoing BP oil spill, herons, ibises, lots of songbirds, and even alligators and beavers!

We'll also of course be selling our Stumptown Comics Award-nominated anthology Elfworld Vol. 2 #1, the original Elfworld collection (with a special convention price of just $5!), Ochre Ellipse, Friends, and all the excellent comics and zines that the world has come to expect from Family Style. We're excited to meet new comics fans in this new venue!

WonderCon takes place April 1-3 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Look for us at table #SP19.

Bird Brain 4 @ Indy Euphoria in Sacramento

The new alternative comics show Indy Euphoria returns this Sunday to Sacramento! Both Jonas and François will be in attendance, and Family Style will be premiering another installment of François' nature journal series, Bird Brain! This issue is the product of several field trips to some sweet natural locales around the Bay Area, including a stop at Año Nuevo to check out the Elephant Seal breeding grounds! Good stuff!


While we found that it was a little quiet at the inaugural Indy Euphoria in January, the organizers have made a lot of positive changes and have worked very hard on this weekend's one-day event, and we are delighted to be there and support a great, grass-roots show! There are tons of great comic, DIY, toy, and lowbrow art creators on hand, including guests Johnny Ryan, Jordan Crane, Theo Ellsworth, and Tom Neely! They've also got musical guests and much more lined up... If you live in the Sacramento area, definitely drop by and say "hi!"

Sunday, June 27, 10am - 6pm • $5.00 • Scottish Rite Center, 6151 H Street Sacramento (across from Sac State University)
