SPACE 2026 Exhibitor Bios Part 4

Drew B. Hall:
I make comics for deranged people. I host a comics reading show in Columbus called DISTRACTOR. I am very sorry.

Han Hampy:
Hi, I am Han Hampy, a cartoonist based in Columbus, Ohio. At the end of the day, my comics aim to make people laugh. My work is nostalgic, personal, and at times, a bit weird.

B. R. Harding:
B. R. Harding is an artist and writer from Northeast Ohio and the creator of Oven Mother, a 1950's-inspired surreal horror comic series. She loves to draw subjects that explore the intersection of the macabre and the whimsical, the grim and the cute, and ponder the stories of these quirky characters.

Stephen Hines:

Stephen Hines was spawned and lives in Ohio. So far he’s published one YA novel (Hocus Focus), a surrealist horror comic (Icon-O-Plastic), two graphic novels (Zombie Fabulous and The Soccer Mom Killer), and a short story collection called An Exile’s Epistle and Other Stories. He has also released a prose memoir (Rebirth Defect). Snails With Lasers is his newest onslaught upon delicate sensibilities.

Travis Horseman/Amiculus Books:

Travis was born in Springfield, Ohio, and discovered comic books at the age of six. Since then, the course of his life has been shaped by his love of comics, theater and classical history. In addition to being a writer, he has been an actor, a director, a produced playwright, and occasionally, all three at once. 
After writing the first draft of his ancient Roman epic Amiculus: A Secret History as a ten-page play in college, he began adapting it as a comic. Initially intending for it to be a short 32-page project, it took on a life of its own, expanding to a 200-page graphic novel.
Since Amiculus, Travis has continued to write, crowdfund and publish comics under his label Amiculus Books, venturing into modern-day horror with Sugar Creek in 2019 and combining horror with ancient history in the vampire story In Noctem in 2021.  Pythia: The Last Oracle was started in  2023 and is his first foray into the realm of mythology and fantasy.

Ironclad Comics:
Illustrator Ian Chovies and writer K.J. Axtmann began working together at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic with the goal of publishing comic books. They decided that self-publishing their work under a co-owned business was the route through which they would proceed. Thus, Ambiguous Content Consortium was formed. Ambiguous Content Consortium’s goal is to create original work that captures the unique abilities and talents of the creator-owners. The work that the Consortium produces aims to offer distinctive style and storytelling.

Clyde K:
I am a multidisciplinary artist from northeast Ohio who specializes in comics, illustration, and embroidery. I make artwork of whatever my heart desires but that usually consists of anthropomorphic dogs and some mixture of queer, midwestern, and kitschy aesthetics.

Pat Kain:
Cartoonist and animator blessed to be living in the great state of Ohio.

Chuck Kaslow:
Chuck is a Brooklyn-based cartoonist...and a cartoon of a person. Since 2019, I've been actively creating and self-publishing my comic book work, making appearances at Cons far and wide across the county, from NYCC and Emerald City, to the independent Cons of BICS (Brooklyn Independent Comics Showcase) and Zinecinnati. Any chance to talk comics is a good time.
Forged from a steady life-long diet of comix, cartoons, and B-movies, my work ranges from absurdist humor to tongue-in-cheek horror. From horror schlock creature-feature anthologies ("Tail from the Barkside") to X-treme absurdist action (“Big Arm NRG GO!”) and the nonsensicalities of life in humorist strips ("Brooklyn Boredumb"); each story offers something for any reader.
During all this time, I have become a leader in my local comic-shop community at Anyone Comics. Each month I run a 'Comix Jam' event where local artists can gather to do their work amongst their peers, talk shop, and be able to ask someone for a critical eye. Spinning from this, I’ve become the Creator/Editor of the shop's Newsletter, a mix of Onion-esque comic book humor, local creator work, and shop news.
