Jacksonville Public Library is proud to host the fourth annual Duval Comic and Zine Fest in downtown Jacksonville from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at the Main Library, 303 N. Laura St. A celebration of local, independent publishers, the event will feature over 90 local zine and comic creators, a risograph printing activity, a Writer’s Lab workshop, a mini-zine making program for teens, a Lit Chat Interview, and more.
Happy Medium is excited to partner with JPL to host Osa Atoe – an artist, teacher, and ceramicist operating Pottery by Osa, producing small-batch handmade ceramics. Currently residing in Sarasota, Florida, Osa previously lived in Portland, Oregon, and New Orleans, Louisiana. It was these two cities where she primarily made her punk fanzine, Shotgun Seamstress. Osa is also a punk musician who performed in numerous bands including VHS, New Bloods, and Firebrand.
The author will be in conversation with a local interviewer for the first 40 minutes. There will also 20 minutes of audience Q&A and a book signing. Books are on sale at Happy Medium Books Café and at DCAZ.
