Let’s see: Made a dizzying tour of the exhibition hall, which is always a big, confusing mess. Nice people who got my attention sold a comic, and I had some hits (Alex Gonzales’ Broken Chain, a charming and maddeningly true-to-life wordless tale of a boy, a girl, a bicycle and frogs) and some misses (not worth slamming here, but the writer/artistvery enthusiastically signed my copy) and some in-betweens (party two of a creepy fairy tale called Fatalysia; I had bought part one last year.

I find that wordless comics can sometimes be a bit puzzling, as it takes more effort to figure out the artist’s intent at times, but it’s a great way for creators to challenge themselves.
