When comic book culture and indie art collide, you get something special. First Coast Comic Con and Indie Comic Creator Con (IC3) teamed up for a massive joint event this past weekend. They brought together the best comic dealers in the area and a hand-selected crop of the most talented indie creators in the world—all under one roof. Pure paradise for comic book fans and art lovers. You don't owe me nothing @firstcoastcomiccon & @indiecomicscreatorcon, thank you for bringing this event to life. The Short Box Podcast
