ComicLab Ep 33 — Comic-Con International

Webcomics artists Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar are talkin’ shop! Dave Kellett has returned from his 20th appearance at Comic Con International in San Diego — and it was a huge success! He shares the strategies he used to beat the odds and make a profit at an incredibly demanding show. Plus… booth barnacles, Hollywood scouts and the religious pugs.

Show notes

  • 00:00 — Religious pugs and other oxymorons
  • 02:34 — The new pedestrianized Comic-Con frontage
  • 05:45 — Hard times in Hall H? — Marvel and Disney’s reduced presence impacted foot traffic on the floor

  • 21:19 — Selling long-form vs selling short-form comics
  • 29:24 — Flyer advice
  • 32:33 — The Big Takeaway… the show is about the Experience for most people. It’s not about buying your book. And (ironically) understanding that concept can help you improve sales.

  • 50:38 — Using Instagram to increase convention sales
  • 54:25 — Booth Barnacles
