Bulletin:

New England's TREES & HILLS comics group announces release of Sputnik comics anthology for SPX

MONTPELIER, Vt. - The Russians called it Спутник, or traveling companion.

But we know it as the Sputnik satellite and its October 1957 launch kicked off the space race between the United States and Russia in the second decade of the Cold War.

To Celebrate the 50th anniversary of that launch, the Trees & Hills comics group will release a new mini-comics anthology, NEW STARS, featuring nearly 20 comics by creators from the northern New England area.

Contributors include Matthew Reidsma (High Maintenance Machine), Colleen Frakes (Tragic Relief), Cat Garza (Magic Inkwell), Gregory Giordano (upcoming Holliday) and Daniel Barlow ($ell Outs). More creators to be announced soon!

The 52-page comic will debut at the Small Press Expo in Bethesda, Maryland on Oct. 12. The Trees & Hills comics group will be at table G1 and the anthology will cost only three bucks. NEW STARS will also be available on-line after SPX at the Trees & Hills Distro, located at www.treesandhills.org/distro/

The Trees & Hills comics group is a collective of comic creators from Vermont, New Hampshire and parts of Massachusetts. Since forming at a 24-Hour Comics event in southern Vermont two years ago, the group has published three comics anthologies and hosted more than a dozen meet-ups and drawing parties.
