April 6, 2010
The Stumptown Comics Foundation is very pleased to
announce that Mayor Sam Adams will declare April 2010 to be Comic Book
Month in the city of Portland. For the third year in a row, this
proclamation officially recognizes both the cultural importance and
creative influence that the unique art form of comic books has on the Rose
City. This event builds on the strength and success of Portland, Oregon
being the City of Comic Books by mayoral decree since 2008, and home to
the Stumptown Comic Book Festival since 2004.
