Class visit to Thurgood Marshall Elementary

Creator/Writer Drew Dorenfest visited an incredible class of 9-10yr olds at Thurgood Marshall Elementary in Lynwood, CA. After meeting the class’ teacher, Mrs. Salazar at LA COMIC CON 2019, they set up a day for Drew to speak to her students about how one creates a comic book, the creative skills and collaboration that goes into making each page, took questions about finding inspiration and creative solutions, and lastly lead the class in a super fun comic strip making exercise. Using examples from Calvin & Hobbes, Drew showed that visual storytelling can be simple and playful and tell a whole story in 3-4 panels. The students absolutely WOWED Drew with their creativity and sense of humor. He inspired them to keep drawing, reading, and having fun with their imagination. Mrs. Salazar even informed Drew that some of the students were continuing to work on their comics during recess!! Class visits are such a joyful experience. The best days, truly. If you would like Drew to visit your class, feel free to reach out on social media!

LA COMIC CON 2019

We made our 2nd appearance at LA COMIC CON last month and it was one our most successful cons ever! We loved meeting eager new fans and were absolutely thrilled to see returning customers from previous appearances. Everyone was so friendly and enthusiastic about the series so far and that made us so happy to hear. As a fun bonus, we offered free coloring book pages from each issue’s inked pages to all of our fans so they could practice comic book making at home! And to all those who want to get their hands on issue #3, we did pre-orders on issue #3 so our most dedicated readers can get their hands on the next chapter as soon as we have it in stock! We love our LA fanbase and we love making this book series!!

WONDERCON 2019 WRAP UP!

WOW! Our first time exhibiting at Wondercon was a dream come true. We’ve been working on this indie comic series for a few years now and getting to the level of Wondercon Artist’s Alley has been a goal since the beginning. It far exceeded our expectations and we sold more books in one weekend than we ever have before! We met so many comic fans of all ages and backgrounds. We saw familiar faces from LA Comic Con and LBCC 2018. We turned strangers into new fans! Spreading the joy of reading comics to young readers is our creators’ overall mission and seeing parents stop and turn and get their kids to flip through our books and having their eyes light up just gets us right in the feels every single time!

Hopefully we can continue to exhibit at Wondercon in the years to come and branch out to many more cons out there. If you want us to come to your local con, feel free to reach out on our social media @spacecasecomic! We love engaging with our fans and making this book series a conversation :)

Thanks Wondercon. You were wonderful.
