2011: The Revenge of Print

Revenge of PrintWe’re tired of all the END OF PAPER, the END OF PUBLISHING AS WE KNOW IT stories. We’ve been hearing and reading about it ever since we’ve been open (which is going on almost 20 years now).

So for 2011, we’re throwing a challenge out there. If you’ve ever made a zine or mini comic MAKE ONE MORE ISSUE. Come on, you’ve got one more in you! Maybe you were thinking in the back of your head you’d do another issue one day. Now is the time.

Join the group for discussion and more plans. This is just the beginning.

Quimby’s Bookstore is proud to help sponsor this challenge with our friends at Atomic Books in Baltimore, Xerography Debt and Zine World.

A new Chicago Outer Limits zine and audio zine is festering! Got something odd to share? Listen to this call from VOICES FROM THE GRAVE headquarters:

ATTENTION FELLOW SNAKES AND FOLLOWERS OF WHAT EVER

Have You Ever?

Been ridden by an old hag? Heard voices during your early morning cemetery jaunt? Had visions of long lost civilizations? Been approached by dark angels? Contracted a mysterious disease? Picked up a phantom hitchhiker? Did you find a skeleton in your closet? Did you see a fireball light up the night sky?

If you have experienced any baffling, thrilling, or extra/ordinary phenomena we would like to have you participate. All stories welcome.
