Quimby's Hosts Comic Art Battle with Ezra Claytan Daniels CAKE Edition!
Quimby’s is excited to host Ezra Claytan Daniels’ Comic Art Battle as part of official festivities surrounding the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo!
The Comic Art Battle pits teams of ferocious comics artists against each other in a knock-out, drag-down frenzy of improvised gags, comics strips and chaos. Hosted by its founder, Ezra Claytan Daniels, this battle will feature a match-up between Chicago’s favorite comic book sons and daughters against an all-star coalition of visiting comics makers. It’s Chicago vs. the world! You wont want to miss it! This event is preceded by a signing by Michael DeForge, Lisa Hanawalt and Patrick Kyle.
EZRA CLAYTAN DANIELS is a writer and illustrator based in Chicago, IL. His critically acclaimed graphic novel series, The Changers, began a unique comics career peppered with a number of collaborative multimedia projects ranging from video games to animation to feature documentaries. Ezra is also the creator of the popular live art spectacle, The Comic Art Battle, and Loaded Blanks Greetings, a line of fill-in-the-blanks comic-art greeting cards featuring both established as well as up and coming comics artists. Ezra recently collaborated with Chicago-based chamber group Fifth House Ensemble on the narrative concert series, Black Violet, which the Chicago Sun-Times called “a modern classic”. Ezra is currently working on Upgrade Soul, a science fiction graphic novel about an elderly couple and their malformed clones. Upgrade Soul will be released in 2012 from Opertoon. http://dream-chocolate.com
The Chicago Alternative Comics Expo [CAKE] is a weekend-long celebration of independent comics, inspired by Chicago’s rich legacy as home to many of underground and alternative comics’ most talented artists– past, present and future. Featuring comics for sale, workshops, exhibitions, panel discussions and more, CAKE is dedicated to fostering community and dialogue amongst independent artists, small presses, publishers and readers.
Quimby’s is a proud sponsor of the CAKE which will take place Saturday and Sunday, June 15 & 16th, 11am – 6pm at the Center on Halsted, 3656 N Halsted.

New Stuff This Week
Doris #30 Highest Standard of Living $3.50 – Doris continues to be a zine-form stronghold of bold and astute essays on dealing, healing and the art of living. This issue is a big deal: about half of it is a critique on underdeveloped accountability processes and what can be envisioned in their stead, including an interview with members of Support N.Y. Community formation and fluctuation seems to be the other strong thread running throughout – tour comics, bee hives, study groups and the way the term itself can break down or expand. Great issue.Zines & Zine-Related

New Stuff This Week
Contradictionary: A Bestiary of Words in Revolt (CrimethInc) $11.95 – Whence do Stockholm Syndrome and Broken Window Theory derive their names? What is the common root of aristocracy and democracy? Who gets diagnosed with Anarchia and Drapetomania? How did voting kill Edgar Allen Poe, and why is a crater on the dark side of the moon named for the man who blew up the Tsar? Alternately scathing and sublime,Contradictionary pulls back the curtain from the war within every word, revealing the conflict behind the façade of the commonplace. In the tradition of The Devil’s Dictionary, Crimethinc’s Contradictionary assembles a wide range of wit and whimsy. This is no mere miscellany, but a lighthearted work of serious literature, concentrating a wealth of ideas and history into aphorisms and anecdotes.Zines & Zine-Related
