SPACE Life Time Achievement Award

Every so often we at the Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo feel that certain people have gone beyond the call of duty and contributed tremendously to the cause of self published comics.  At SPACE these people are given a small token of our appreciation for their efforts by awarding them the SPACE Lifetime Achievement Award.  Just a humble plaque accompanied by our heartfelt thanks.

Tim Corrigan

You may not know who Tim Corrigan is, but since you’re interested in small press comics you have been influenced by him.  Tim has been producing comics since the late 70’s under his New Voice Media and C& T Graphics imprints. Check out his Mightyguy comics along with tons of other titles.  Also he was the publisher of the Small Press Comics Explosion and later the Small Press Creative Explosion.  The SPCE was the reason many small press publishers got involved in publishing their own comics back in the 80’s including a certain SPACE event coordinator. Those early creators influenced the next generation of small press creators and on and on. Without Tim’s influence we wouldn’t be enjoying the great variety of self-published comics today. (Maybe we’d be here collecting Beanie Babies or Nascar stuff (shudder!)). So here is our humble tribute to a great guy. Thanks, Tim!
