How does one honor the tradition of Chicago’s checkered past? By embracing it’s bloody cliches. The comic anthology Pinstriped Bloodbath does just that, showcasing several of the best Chicago area cartoonists, as they tackle the seedy gangland crime of the 20’s and 30’s. Each book is painstakingly silkscreened and constructed by hand and features simulated blood spray across the jacket. Inside are 38 pages of beautiful black and white artwork featuring comics by Bernie McGovern, Neil Brideau, Nate Beaty, Rickey Gonzales, Neil Jam, Sam Sharpe, Jeff Zwirek, and Jeremy Tinder. The book also features illustrations by comic greats, Ivan Brunetti and Joshua Cotter. The book is a limited print run of 250 copies and is $8.00.
Be there for the party celebrating the release of the book in Chicago after its debut at the Small Press Expo in Bethesda Maryland. Meet and have your book signed by the cartoonists representing the current alternative comic scene in Chicago.

Dean Haspiel, co-founder of the premier online comic art collective, ACT-I-VATE.com, will be hosting a multimedia salon to celebrate the release of The ACT-I-VATE Primer, 16 original stories by some of the most highly respected visual storytellers working today. This will also be the Chicago debut of The ACT-I-VATE Experience, a 30-minute documentary by filmmakers Seth Kushner and Carlos Molina about how ACT-I-VATE is leading the webcomics revolution. Dean will be projecting panels from his contribution to the Primer, “Bring Me The Heart Of Billy Dogma,” while discussing the journey these stories have taken from print to web and back again. Joining Dean will be Chicago-area multimedia writer Tim Hall, whose groundbreaking text-comics for ACT-I-VATE have already sparked spirited discussion and debate in the comics community about visual writing and pictureless comics.
The Act-i-vate Primer boasts original art and stories by Joe Infurnari, Roger Langridge, Mike Dawson, Nick Bertozzi, Tim Hamilton, Dean Haspiel, Simon Fraser, Molly Crabapple & John Leavitt, Mike Cavallaro, Pedro Camargo, Jim Dougan & Hyeondo Park, Ulises Farinas, Michel Fiffe, Maurice Fontenot, Jennifer Hayden, and Leland Purvis.
“ACT-I-VATE makes comics better.” –Warren Ellis [from the ACT-I-VATE PRIMER foreword]
