 Taking an alternative approach to the popular comic convention style, Josh O'Neill, owner of the Locust Moon in Philadelphia, has described his store's December 16th day-long comics convention as being focused on the “fierce creativity of cartoonists” rather than “video games and Star Trek” as most comic conventions tend to have as their center of attention.
Philadelphia comic shop Locust Moon has had an ambitious year with a relocation and an anthology published by Dark Horse, but it’s not done yet. On Dec. 16, the three-year-old store is organizing a one-day comics convention in West Philadelphia’s Rotunda called, appropriately enough, the Locust Moon Comic Festival.
“There are plenty of comic conventions in Philly, but we want to do something that’s not about video games and Star Trek and professional wrestling and geek culture,” store owner Josh O’Neill said in a statement.
