Lightly edited from Floating World’s myspace blog:
Portland’s best kept secret: we are a comics town. The list of local comics creators and publishers gets larger every year. I think it should be a point of pride that Portland is the West Coast comics capital of the nation.
For example, PERISCOPE (formerly MERCURY STUDIO) located in downtown Portland is the largest in the comic book industry. Home to over 20 artists and writers (including the artists of Superman, Batman,Wonder Woman, Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man), this studio represents the best professionals working in the industry as well as new emerging artists.
First Thursday, June 7th from 6–10pm, Floating World Comics is proud to present a PERISCOPE STUDIO art show featuring as much of their all-star roster we could fit in the store! The following artists will be on hand displaying original comic art and comics:
STEVE LIEBER (Whiteout, Gotham Central, Civil War Frontline – Eisner Award Winner)
PAUL GUINAN (Heartbreakers, Boilerplate – alternate history steampunk, featured in US News & Report and NY Times)
KARL KESEL (Fantastic Four, Spider-Man)
DAVID HAHN (Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane, Bite Club, Private Beach)
COLLEEN COOVER (Banana Sunday, Small Favors – best girly porno comic ever)
DYLAN MECONIS (Wire Mothers: Harry Harlow and the Science of Love – history of psychology, featured in Publishers Weekly)
JESSE HAMM (Good As Lily, a new Minx title – DC’s new imprint aimed at young teens and female readers)
AARON MCCONNELL (The Young Pups)
RON CHAN (A Dummy’s Guide To Danger)
Actually, Dylan will be on an airplane, and I’ll still be in Ohio, but the rest is right on target. But what’s all this about a new name? Stay tuned for the press release!

First Thursday • JUNE 1, 2006
Sequential Art is proud to present Matthew Clark’s HEROES?, a selection of his original artwork from the monthly comic series, OUTSIDERS, published by DC Comics. OUTSIDERS chronicles the exploits of costumed superhuman adventurers who break the ‘rules’ of the superhero establishment, thus blurring the line between the ‘good guys’ and the ‘bad guys’.
“Heroes?” marks Matthew’s third show in the Everett Station Lofts (which he also calls home), the first at Pause Gallery (Aug ’04), and then at Milk Studios (June ’05). His work was also part of group show at ArtBar (located in the PCPA) in Mar-Apr ’06, featuring artists from Mercury Studio, a collective of industry professionals living in Portland; Matthew is a founding member.
For First Thursday, Matthew will be in attendance to discuss his work and love of the comic book medium. Additionally, he will be joined by several members of the Outsiders in-person: Arsenal, Grace, Indigo, Jade, Nightwing and Shift (as performed by The Kids Your Mother Warned You About Players). They will be searching the Everett Station block for two of their more notable villains, and promoting the “Heroes?” installation.
Yes, you read that correctly. There will be live actors dressed up as The Outsiders running around the art gallery participating in a big scavenger hunt. If you are in Portland, you must go to see this.
The Sequential Art Gallery & Studio is in Portland at 328 NW Broadway #113. (503) 916.9293
