District Comics

District Comics: An Unconventional History of Washington, DC  hit the comic stands last week. Edited by long time SPACE Exhibitor Matt Dembicki and chuck full of former SPACE exhibitors.

District Comics is a graphic anthology featuring lesser-known stories about Washington, DC, from its earliest days as a rustic settlement along the swampy banks of the Potomac to the modern-day metropolis. Spanning 1794–2009, District Comics stops along the way for a duel, a drink in the Senate's speakeasy, a look into the punk scene, and much more.
And we got the line up!
