SPACE Exhibitor Bios- Part 7


Michael Marcus:
Michael Marcus is a comic book author, game designer, surrealist, and hypnotist who has been coming to SPACE since 2007.  He brings with him all manner of experimental projects--come see what he's brought this year!

Kevin Marion:
Kevin has been documenting the adventures of CinciGnat, an all-ages minicomic which is easy for anyone to color. Each issue hits the streets quarterly, giving CinciGnat time to recuperate between battles.  Also check out Kevin's line of Recycled Comics including remastered comic covers, pinback buttons and one-of-a-kind pop culture creations.

MeSseD:
MeSseD is the nickname for the Metropolitan Sewer District.  The comic book features a sewer
worker named Lilliput.  She’s our tour guide to the weird, wet and wild world beneath our feet.  
Citybeat named us the “ Best Reason to Get Your Mind in the Gutter.”
The Cincinnati Enquirer says that "Lilliput... is tough and enterprising. She is fearless and unflappable. Lilliput is a hero for all of us."

Daniel Miles:
Originally from Massachusetts, Daniel Miles moved to Columbus, OH in 2011 for grad school, and has been living there ever since.  Tale of the Taira is his first comic book project, an adaptation of a medieval Japanese epic, co-written with Ben Flebbe and illustrated by Milan Mišic and Miloš Trajkovic.  The first full volume was funded via a successful Kickstarter in March 2018, and Dan is excited to be sharing these stories with a wider audience.


Violet Mitchell:
At age three & a half Violet is one of the youngest creators at SPACE.  She has a new book collaborating with Kurt Dinse, Chelsea Fields, Michael Neno, Dan McCloskey, Jared Catherine, Nate McDonough, JM Hunter, Jason Young, & Shawn Atkins that’s a stylistic sequel to her award winning “There Was An Accident” from last year.


Brian John Mitchell:
Fifteen years & well over 100 mini-comics in, Mitchell continues making comics the size of a pack of matches with stories of horror, science fiction, & speculative biography. 

Neil Moherman:
After retiring from the world of competitive bearding, Neil Moherman needed something to take up his free time. Neil started writing comics in 2017  with his first creator-owned comic Cog & Flame. By day he writes processes about reptile care and breeding, by night he is writing fantasy comics under the name Neil Moherman Comics. Stop by and talk about comics, beards, lizards, table top games, or whatever your heart desires.

Robert Monsarrat:
Raised on a steady diet of monster cinema, CCAD grad Robert Monsarrat knew from a young age that writing about these beasts was his lucky lot in life. "Dinosaur Demigods" is his attempt to pay homage to such greats as Ray Harryhausen, Ishiro Honda and Eiji Tsuburaya, all while making his own stamp as well. Follow along, won't you?


Maryanne Rose Papke:
Maryanne Rose Papke has been self-publishing short comics since 2010. Her comics are usually weird, often silly, typically cute, sometimes sad, and occasionally epic. She currently has more than 10 minicomics in print.

Steve Peters:
Steve got his start publishing Awakening Comics (also the name of his publishing line) after a grant from the Xeric Foundation. His comic book and accompanying CD soundtrack, Chemistry, won the Gene Day Memorial Prize in 2006. His current ongoing series, The Comiverse, a sci-fi rom-com about a comic book shop in a space mall, won a SPACE Prize in 2012. The Comicverse has 2 spinoff series with much more to come!
