Waiting til 2024
Our apologies for the long delay in posting. The pandemic hasn’t allowed for us to do an event since 2019. While we’re hopeful that the worst of Covid is behind us, we feel the need to wait until next year to be sure the #OlyComicsFest is something we’re capable of making happen. Thank you all for your understanding and patience. Hope you all are staying safe and that we see many of you next year!

Been a while...
... and it’ll be a while longer!
Sorry for the long absence here, folks. Since we haven’t had news to share, we haven’t posted anything. Of course, in this day and age, not having news can itself be news, I s’pose.
Anyway, we didn’t have a 2020 OlyComicsFest, or a 2021 OlyComicsFest, and we won’t be having a 2022 OlyComicsFest.
We are very much hoping that Covid numbers and variants and what not allow us to feel safe in having a 2023 OlyComicsFest. So cross your fingers along with us and we’ll probably post next some time late this year or early next year with an update. Thanks much, stay healthy and safe!
2020 Olympia Comics Festival cancelled!
The 2020 Olympia Comics Festival is cancelled, which will surprise very few of you at this point. We’re bummed because that’s always one of our favorite days of the year, and probably is for many of you as well! The good news is that our scheduled Guests of Honor, Jim Woodring, Mark Russell, and Mini Pond, have all agreed to wait and take part next year! Stay tuned for any further news or updates.
We’re very excited to announce our third Guest of Honor for the 2020 Olympia Comics Festival - Mark Russell (Second Coming, Flintstones, Snagglepuss, God Is Disappointed In You, Wonder Twins)!

Exhibitor Applications
Exhibitor applications for OCF 2020 will be up soon; we’re aiming for some time in February. Thanks to those that have inquired already!
We’ve got a date!
Hi folks, this year’s Olympia Comics Festival will be held on Saturday May 30th, 2020! Stay tuned for more awesome details!
The Washington Center for the Book presents the annual Washington State Book Awards recognizing books that exemplify the best writing in the state during a given year. The purpose of the award…
Hey WA comics-making/publishing folks - we encourage you to submit your work for the WA State Book Awards!
The Olympia Comics Festival hosted its first-ever wedding, between OCF organization staff members Casey Bruce (also co-owner of event sponsor Danger Room Comics) and Marisha Kay (local gal and longtime comics fan). It was beautifully officiated by Guest of Honor Emil Ferris (of My Favorite Thing Is Monsters fame). Emil did an amazing piece of original art of the happy couple as their true monster selves. Party favors were bizarre hand-drawn mini-comics by PNW comics legend Steve Willis. It was a great and wonderful event full of happy tears. Thanks to those who came for being there!

What cost, this Comics Fest?
Folks, we hadn't mentioned it on the site previously (an oversight; our apologies) so we're doing so now - at OlyComicsFest the stage show costs $6, the Expo and signing are both free, but you'll probably end up buying books!
