MICE, the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo is back and in person!

The Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo, MICE, the annual community celebration of comics creativity and expression, returns to the Boston area! The show will return on October 22 – 23, 2022 to a new venue: Boston University’s Fuller Building. MICE will host over 200 independent comics creators from Boston and beyond. They’ll bring an enormous range of comics, from hand-crafted zines to published graphic novels. Admission is free and open to all ages.

Not to be missed is MICE’s free-to-all extensive programming which includes hands-on workshops, where beginners can get an introduction to the medium of comics, and even experienced creators can explore the craft from scripting to inking to Risograph printing. Panel discussions explore themes and issues in independent comics today such as a celebration of challenged LGBTQIA+ graphic novels and a spotlight on the Puerto Rican comics scene.

MICE will welcome an extraordinary line up of Special Guests this year. Including:

• Gale Galligan – The Baby-Sitters Club, Freestyle
