Thread 149219634

I went to CAKE (Chicago Alternative Comics Expo) this past weekend and I want to storytime some of the stuff I got.

Starting with Keys by Erin Roseberry

End of this one, I liked how it unfolded to tell the story instead of just a normal mini book format.

Next is Cool Teen Mothman by Emily Kardamis

End, short and sweet.

Next is Death by Lilly Higgs

Thanks for doing this!

>>149219787
No problem! I just wish I had a scanner so the pics would look better.

End of Death but not the end of Lilly

I saw something in the forest also by Lilly Higgs

>>149219754
Is that fucking Gondola on the right

Also thanks for sharing OP it's really cool to see shit like this that doesn't normally get any sort of exposure.

End for Higgs

Now is G.I. Geoffs by Jeffrey Brown who was nice enough to doodle on my copy

End for the geoffs

Car on Fire by Teddie Bernard

>>149219634 (OP)
Thank you bump

End of Car on Fire, I got one of Teddie's zines last year and liked it which is why I decided to get this one

>>149219996
I was waiting for this one to show up! It's printed using a riso, I can tell because of the colours.
I love using riso.

Next is Sketch Book Comics by Bridget Bilbo

>>149220121
Whoops

>>149219634 (OP)
I wanna make a zine like these someday, my college art school had us make zines but only foldable ones in really tiny square panels that was just a showcase of work we already did rather then anything creative

>>149219996
I really liked the color of this one.

End for the sketch book

Now for Moon Maiden by Asia Miller

These are neat and cute. The DIY spirit of zines is always nice. I have a pile of zines from when I used to be more proactive about going to events.

End for Moon Maiden

Now are you ready to learn how to make your own zines? Its Making Comic Zines by Eddy Atoms

bumpin'

End of Makin Comic Zines

Next is RPG Friends Volumes 1 and 2 by Kyle Fewell

I'm gonna skip the title pages cause its just text on an empty page. This story is "Meteor IV"

"Mimic"

"Side Quest"

"Toad Spell"

"Save Point"

"Rare Drop"

"Level Grinding"

"Black Hole"

>>149219898
The wording is a bit off in the right page, the panels should be under the words describing then, it would flow better.

"Battle Tutorial"

End of RPG Friends

Bump!

>>149220268
Loce the leaves as panel borders

And Last but not least: Nugget #3 by Tony Dipsquale, if you're wondering why were starting with 3 and not 1, the creator told me his early stuff was kinda shitty and I took him at his word.

>>149220413
This was excellent

Correction Tony Dipasquale

I wish the art was good on all of these.

>>149219787
seconding this

>>149219634 (OP)
Very nice. I love digging through this sort of stuff at cons too looking for stuff that stands out. Thanks for sharing your haul.

The end. That's all from me today, I'll probably do this again with the rest of my zine collection eventually, glad you guys enjoyed reading!

>>149219634 (OP)
Thanks OP

Kick ass, thanks for sharing OP!

>>149222180
Thanks

>>149219728
CUUUUTE!

Bumping to keep it active

>>149219634 (OP)
there's something that feels so nice about holding a zine in your hand

I wish the artists shared their socials on the zines, I would keep up with some of their works

>>149219785
>>149219814
>>149219801
>>149219824
>>149219840
Not gonna lie, I've been here. It's not a constant thought but just the idea of what happens to the life I built and the people I care about afterwards

>>149220015
that's a creative way to show the radio cutting in and out

>>149220157
those are a lot of pretty big names they're meeting

>>149219634 (OP)
I'm jealous that you're able to pick this stuff up in person. There was a grand total of like five tables setup at my city's "comic arts festival", none of which had anything of interest.

>>149221424
Been following this guy for a while, good stuff.

>>149220144
>>149220215
I just realized these all are recollections of the past, I just assumed they were really committed to masking

>>149220258
>>149220413
I like the feeling of this one feeling like a childhood memory.

>>149225914
anything at your local comic stores?

>>149220473
The author reminds me of a better dressed Steve from American Dad

>>149226019
Nope. We have exactly two comic stores in a city of a few million, and they only sell your usual DC/Marvel, manga and popular indie companies like Dark Horse/Image. I would leave this place if housing wasn't fucked everywhere.

>>149222180
Thanks for posting. I'll contribute two I have to the thread. I hope the quality is alright, and I hope others will add any zines to the thread.

>>149220091
>7th panel
Wow that's extremely unsafe.

/co/ meets /n/

>>149226780
that's all I got, anons. support your local bookstores and artists.

This thread is great, thanks for posting these zines, anons!

I hope to see more zines posted on /co/

>>149222180
I look forward to more, thanks anon.

>>149226547
Thanks!

>>149226601
fucking LA man

read bump

This is all just classic tumblr style comics. What's the appeal? I hope you didn't spend too much on them OP

not great

>>149219888
>Is that fucking Gondola on the right
That's a fresno nightcrawler

>>149229771
Pretty good tho

Nice thread have a bump

>>149220286
Can you scan or take pics of some of them to post? It would be nice to see more of these here.

>>149230051
>>149219754
/co/ taught me a new cryptid today

Nice to have a thread on comics every now and again. Thanks OP.

>>149226788
I'm not supporting artists if they're all insufferable like what was posted itt
I appreciate the actual content instead of twitter screencap thread #28497 though

>>149233164
This.

>>149221424
this guy looks so much like Charlie from Smiling Friends, it's insane

>>149235929
what a ripoff

>>149220423

>>149221988
>good
Then they wouldn't be zines.

>>149222156
Not bad.

>>149240169
I liked that too

>>149238978
LOL! so true

Thanks

>>149230607
nah

>pictures

>>149219634 (OP)
Bump

>>149244400
What for

>>149245498
why not?

The board is kinda fast today.

>>149247347
being two days before July 4th and a day after Canada Day, there might be more people posting than a normal Wednesday.

Bump

>>149219634 (OP)
Catching this just before the thread's about to expire. Thanks for the cool thread! I don't usually get out to art expos to be able to pick up zines and comix like this. Looks like Tony Dipasquale sells his stuff online so I think I'll get some copies of Nugget

>>149249079
will you pick up some zines next time you go to a comic book shop or bookstore? sometimes you can find a few gems there

>>149248000
I think it's more that school's out in the US and all the kiddos are shitposting this site into oblivion.
