So many conventions in the Chicagoland area, am I right? That's a lot of driving, parking, tickets, overpriced food, costumes, you name it. Hassle on top of burden on top of forget it.

GOOD NEWS! Challengers is bringing the convention to YOU! Well, I mean, technically "us", but still! Comics + Convention!

On Saturday, May 22nd, come to Challengers for the First Annual Shortpants Press Expo! (ShorPressPo, if you will.) Local creators Sarah Becan (The Ouija Interviews), Robert Stevenson (The Bone Closet) and Neil Brideau (In Anticipation Of Hugs) will be here representing local publisher Shortpants Press, and they're bringing plenty of stuff to check out. All the selection and creator interaction of a convention, but in your own backyard! Figuratively speaking. Unless, do you live on Winnebago? Then, maybe literally.

Anyway, ShorPressPo. It's going to be AWESOME. I guarantee there will be far fewer Stormtroopers than any other Chicago comic show. That's a ShorPressPromise!
