ECCE Guest Announcement: Sandy Carruthers!

Maritime comic book celebrity Sandy Carruthers has a full slate of appearances across the Maritimes over the next couple of months, and we're happy to include the ECCE in his Maritime tour. If you didn't catch Sandy at Back Issue Comic Con this past weekend, you can catch him this coming weekend at MiraCon (Miramichi), or at CaperCon (Sydney) in May, BUT be sure to add his ECCE appearance in Moncton this June to your calendars. Sandy is highlighting the release of issues 3 and 4 of 'Dark Coast', so you don't want to miss that...

Sandy Carruthers is no stranger to spooky stories. In fact, he has put together an anthology collection of Horror tales from various Maritime creators, called ‘Dark Coast’, and he’ll be bringing it to the East Coast Comic Expo this June!

Sandy Carruthers is a Maritime comic book creator from Prince Edward Island. His past comic work includes Invaders from Mars, Captain Canuck and Men in Black. He is currently owner of Sandstone Comics, an Island based publishing house producing works such as Century Man and DARK Sanctuary (with writer Dave Stewart). He’ll be bringing both DARK Sanctuary 1-4 as well as Century Man #2 (which he collaborated with NS artist Andrew Clark) to the show, and will be announcing his upcoming latest title: ‘Dark Coast’ an anthology series spotlighting Maritime talent. Sandy will also have his original art for sale, and will do customised commissions.
