Ashley Hartley is Director of Marketing and Fund Development for Panel One Comic Creator Festival. Today, this grassroots comic show is celebrating its fifth anniversary. Which is a big feat for this small - no, let’s call it Boutique show. Yeah, that’s it. (Nailed it!) This boutique show takes place in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and now - five years in - has a large, almost national reach in Canada. Hartley and I talk about the impact the pandemic has had on the festival. This year, the show is obviously cancelled, but hit up Twitter and look for the hashtag: #p1ccf and find out about what comic creators are up to, their work and how you might be able to get their work. Without further adieu, listen to the full interview.
