The Brooklyn Independent Comics Showcase is a small press event designed to highlight the vast array of talented, and perhaps underrepresented, creators in the NY metro area.

Leveraging the resources of St. Mark’s Comics® and Industry City, BICS provides an opportunity for artists to present their work to their Brooklyn neighbors, as well as the wider community, at an affordable cost.

  • Our First Year

    The response after the first BICS in April 2022 was overwhelming. We got so much positive feedback from the community, the exhibitors, and Industry City, that we decided to make BICS an annual event!

  • Building a Larger Community

    With a successful year behind us, we looked to expand the amount of artists we could accommodate. In our second year, we doubled in scale.

  • Looking to the Future!

    For our third annual convention, we are excited to keep growing, both in artists and attendees! We’re ready to continue to champion indie creators at BICS 2024 and beyond.
