Press Release

Fanbase Press is honored to announce the inclusion of the Fanbase Press Presents: Introducing Quince panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, July 22, 2017, at 3:00 p.m. in Room 28DE. Comic book creators Kit Steinkellner (Writer, Z: The Beginning of Everything), Emma Steinkellner (Artist, Xbox), and Sebastian Kadlecik (Creator, Penguins vs. Possums) will serve as panelists at the pop culture event of the year to discuss their bilingual comic book series, Quince!

Quince is a 15-issue, creator-owned comic book series that is currently being released by Fanbase Press on ComiXology on the 15th of every month in English and Spanish.  The series follows a year in the life of Lupe, a 15-year-old girl who discovers that her quinceañera brings with it a super cool party . . . and superpowers.  Lupe’s quince powers only last as long as she’s fifteen, so over the course of this rollercoaster year, we follow the adventures of Lupe as she figures out what it really means to be a hero.

The Fanbase Press Presents: Introducing Quince panelists will discuss the series and the importance of inclusivity and representation in the comic book medium.   The panel will be moderated by Fanbase Press Editor-in-Chief Barbra Dillon.

The English-language version of the series will be collected into a printed trade paperback that will be released on Monday, October 23, 2017.  The trade paperback is currently available for pre-order on the Fanbase Press website (www.fanbasepress.com).

More details will follow regarding the Quince creative team’s activities at San Diego Comic-Con 2017.
