Expozine is Montreal's annual small press, comic and zine fair. This incredible event brings together nearly 300 different creators of all kinds of printed matter - from books to zines to visual art and comics - in both English and French. In the past seven years, Expozine has grown to become Canada's largest small press fair, attracting thousands of visitors as well as exhibitors from as far afield as New York, Toronto, Halifax, Ottawa, and Quebec City.

At Expozine, you can discover a multitude of publications that can be difficult to find in the first place, much less altogether in the same room! The result is a rare opportunity to peruse the work of hundreds of young and emerging authors, publishers and artists, and to see what the winners of last year's Expozine Alternative Press Awards are up to. Not to be missed!
