‘An All-Consuming Fire Of Comics Power’
“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.”
Or:
“An all-consuming fire of comics power.”
This year’s edition was held over the weekend. Let’s take a look.
