As we prepare for our 7th festival and our first without the leadership and vision of Tom Spurgeon, our founding Executive Director, we here at CXC have been thinking a lot about all he meant to us—and did for us. There are many moving and beautiful tributes to Tom on the internet, all of which speak powerfully to all he did for comics and for the various communities he called home, from his first home in Muncie to his final home in Columbus. We wanted here to share our deepest love and gratitude to Tom for being the beating heart of CXC and for sharing his love of our community with the broader comics world. We would do anything for Tom, because we knew he was always doing everything for us.
