a coalescence of industry fans and professionals striving to improve conditions under which comic book creators work. Among other goals, the group strives to be a place for creators to express professional grievances and find solutions.

An expanded business plan is still being drawn up for FBCC activity outside of Facebook, and will be re-posted with with a call for members to continue helping us in finding sponsors and initiating business related projects.

In the meantime, let's continue the summer spirit with a big show of support and expectation for a time of celebration of Friday, June 5th, by joining our two current events.

Many thanks to one and all.
