ABOUT US

The Lubbock Comics Group consists of several organizations in Lubbock, TX.  The South Plains Comic Book Alliance, the Lubbock Sketch Club and Star Comics, all working together to help promote comics in West Texas through Conventions, Events, Art shows and community outreach.

Lubbock is not well-known for being a hotspot of comic book talent. Even though it has been the home to some of the best and brightest in the industry. From Jim Smith, co-creator of Ren and Stimpy; to Scott Williams, long time inker to the most influential comics creator of the last two decades Jim Lee; But most notably, Lubbock was home to Alex Ross, the most in-demand artist in the industry today. This is just a handful of the creative talent thats come from this area …But they all had to leave to become successful!

We believe that there is no less talent in West Texas than there is in any other place. The challenge was a lack of opportunities and resources for learning to create comic books for a living and venues to market and sell them to an audience. The Lubbock Comics Group is the answer to that challenge.

OUR MISSION: “To build and cultivate a community of comic book creators in West Texas by educating the general public about comic books, why comics are cool, and how they are created; By connecting the public with a growing west Texas comic book creators community and giving creators the opportunity to share their work with and entertain their  audience.”
