On & Off-Site: {CAKE} The Chicago Alternative Comics Expo 6/15-6/16

Quimby’s is proud to help sponsor The Chicago Alternative Comics Expo [CAKE], which 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.
