CCS Industry Day 2012

Industry Day gives both the students a chance to have their portfolios looked at by the best in the business (maybe arrange an internship) while the publishers get a chance to see the future of the comics industry and know what talent to look out for. This year guests include Gary Groth (Fantagraphics/The Comics Journal), Judy Hansen (Hansen Literary Agency), Annie Koyama (Koyama Press), Chris Duffy (Nursery Rhyme Comics), and Terry Nantier (NBM Publishing). Read more about our Industry Day guests on the Schulz Blog!
