12:00 Noon: Support System: The Role of the Co-op in Small Press

For the novice self-publisher, having a group of like-minded colleagues to bounce ideas off and provide constructive criticism can be an invaluable resource towards creating mini-comics and building a body of work. In this panel, we will discuss the advantages of being part of a small press co-operative, or 'co-op,' for beginners as well as veterans. We will discuss the history of co-ops as well as share decades worth of experiences. The panelists will be:

- Larry Blake, creator of Nightstar, Psychozort, and other titles and a small press veteran of over 30 years
- Ian Shires, webmaster of DimestoreProductions.com, one of the most valuable small press resource sites on the net
- J. Kevin Carrier, creator of Fantasy Theater, current member of the United Fanzine Organization and former chairman of the Small Press Syndicate
- Michael Carroll, creator of The Accidentals and other titles and current member of the Small Press Syndicate
- Tim Corrigan, former publisher of Small Press Comics Explosion

The moderator will be Rich Watson, columnist for SmallPressComics.com.
