2010 Guest ListAPE, the Alternative Press Expo, Announces Special Guests for 2010!APE 2010 once again features an incredibly diverse guest list from the world of alternative and indie comics. 
Lynda BarryWriter/Artist, Ernie Pook's Comeek, What It IsLynda Barry has worked as a painter, cartoonist, writer, illustrator, playwright, editor, commentator, and teacher and has found they are all very much alike. She has been at the forefront of alternative comics as the inimitable creator behind the syndicated strip Ernie Pook's Comeek, featuring the incomparable Marlys and Freddy, and is the author of the bestselling and Eisner Award–winning What It Is. Her other work includes One! Hundred! Demons!; The! Greatest! of! Marlys!; Cruddy: An Illustrated Novel; and Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! In Fall 2010, Drawn & Quarterly will publish the follow-up to What It Is, titled Picture This: The Nearsighted Monkey Book. Lynda teaches a writing workshop called "Writing the Unthinkable" in cities across the country. She lives with her husband, Kevin Kawula, in rural Wisconsin, where they have a native plant nursery. 
Daniel ClowesWriter/Artist, Ghost World, Eightball, WilsonDaniel Clowes is the cartoonist of Ghost World, David Boring, Ice Haven, Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron, Caricature, and 20th Century Eightball, collected from his seminal comic book series Eightball. In Spring 2010, Drawn & Quarterly will publish Wilson, the company's first book with Clowes, and his first original graphic novel. Clowes is a regular cover artist for the New Yorker and an illustrator/designer of many books, movie posters, and magazines. He is the only cartoonist to be the recipient of multiple Harvey, Eisner, and Ignatz Awards as well as the distinct honor of an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay for Ghost World. 
Renée FrenchWriter/Artist, The Soap Lady, H DayRenée French has been making comics since the early 1990s. Her books include The Ticking, Micrographica, Edison Steelhead's Lost Portfolio, and The Soap Lady. She divides her time between the US and Australia. In H Day, her first graphic novel in four years, the artist illustrates her struggles with migraine headaches and Argentine Ant infestation through her haunting pencil drawings. A sweeping, often tense narrative of invasion, repulsion and liberation, H Day can be read both as an oblique autobiography and as a suspenseful fantasy story. This volume showcases the qualities that led Myla Goldberg, author of Bee Season, to call Renée French "that rare gift among artists -- one whose work finds its way into the most guarded corners of our psyches and allows us to revel in all that is awkward, embarrassing or sticky about being alive." H Day premieres at APE. Courtesy PictureBox 
Megan KelsoWriter/Artist, Artichoke Tales, The Squirrel MotherMegan Kelso was born in Seattle, WA in 1968. In 1993, she was awarded a Xeric grant to self-publish her own comic book, Girlhero. In 1998 Highwater Books published a collection of short stories taken from that series, titled Queen of the Black Black, which Fantagraphics will republish in 2011. The Squirrel Mother, her second collection of short stories, was published in 2006. In 2002, a mini-comic excerpt of her first graphic novel, Artichoke Tales, won two Ignatz Awards (for Best Mini-Comic and Outstanding Artist). In 2010, Fantagraphics published the long-awaited complete graphic novel to great acclaim. Courtesy Fantagraphics
