Plenty of comic book events happening online as a handful return to going offline. But we have an actual comic convention in the microstate surrounded by Italy, San Marino, not subject to any such social distancing laws…

Comic book industry birthdays

There may not be much of a party atmosphere right now. All depends on which state you are living in. But comics folk are still getting older and still celebrating that special date.

  • Robert Crumb, creator of Zap Comix.
  • Jack C. Harris, editor, writer, co-creator of The Ray and Annex.
  • Ken Bruzenak, comics letterer.
