Details:
Join us at the Electric City Comic Con 2026 for a fascinating exploration of creativity and expression through two engaging events. First, participate in a panel discussion featuring the talented team behind "THE BRIDGE THAT EATS TRUCKS," an indie project inspired by the infamous Glenville Railroad Bridge, known for its dangerously low height that poses a risk to oversized vehicles. The team will share insights into their creative process and the challenges of bringing this unique story to life.
Additionally, delve into the radical history of zines, self-published works that have empowered grassroots movements and marginalized voices for nearly a century. From their roots in 1930s sci-fi fandom to their pivotal role in the punk, feminist, and LGBTQ+ movements, zines have remained a powerful medium for DIY creativity and political expression. Presented by Elizabeth Jakubowski from the New York State Library, this presentation will highlight the culture and technological advancements that have fueled zine production, along with a showcase of notable examples from the library's collection. Don’t miss this chance to engage with local creators and learn about the transformative power of zines!
