APE - the Alternative Press Expo - takes place on Saturday, April 21 and Sunday, April 22 in San Francisco. APE, which is run by the fine folks who put on the San Diego Comic Con and Wonder Con, is geared towards independent creators and publishers. It's very LGBT friendly, and there will be LOTS of LGBT comics creators present.

The Expo is held at The Concourse, 620 7th Street, San Francisco. Hours are Saturday, April 21 (11:00am - 7:00pm) and Sunday, April 22 (11:00am - 6:00pm).

PRISM will be "representing" with a table at APE and appearances by Justin Hall, Jeff Krell, Tommy Roddy and others. We will also be premiering the "hot-off-the-press" LGBT GUIDE TO COMICS 2007!!!

THE APE QUEER CARTOONISTS PANEL

Concourse Exhibition Center

620 7th St.

San Francisco

The fourth installment of this annual, popular panel at the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco, features yet another gaggle of LGBT cartoonists gathering to gab irreverently about weighty issues. Should artists be socially responsible? What's happening in the world of queer cartooning? And just how gay are comics anyway?
