Leaving from New Orleans. This year's APE moves from its long-time home in San Jose down to the heart of San Francisco.
Admission is free to all con attendees.
It's great to go to a show that really celebrates the avant-garde and alternative side of comics. This is where new things are happening in the medium, and that's where the Fund wants to be. The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is a non-profit organization protecting First Amendment rights in the comics community. Holiday Inn at Fisherman's Wharf is the official APE hotel. A huge exhibit hall filled with artists and publishers selling independent comics, mini-comics, 'zines, artwork, and more.
