The Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo, or SPACE or S.P.A.C.E., is an annual convention in Columbus, Ohio, United States, for alternative comics, minicomics, and webcomics. Bob Corby founded the convention as a gathering place for "the comics and the creators with no distractions."[1] The show is sponsored by Corby's Back Porch Comics, a Columbus small press comics publisher.
Like most comic book conventions, in addition to exhibitor tables, each show features art exhibits, panel discussions, and workshops.[2][3]
