Small Presses in Chicago

October 26, 2004 8:05 AM

ChicagoFilter: I'm looking for small presses in Chicago - the type that churn out lots of creative zines, etc. I LIVE here, but I'm having trouble finding where to go to get a good list going. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm not sure, but maybe they would know at Quimby's? Or perhaps someone at Gapers Block would know -- they generally seem to know when lots of local stuff is released.

Now I'm all curious too.

hm, you just missed the chicago comic book marketplace where there probably would have been people with the answer to this question! next one is in may.

have you talked to the guys that run chicago comics up on clark? they might know where to start. or quimby's.

ID Graphics. They do a lot of work for independent music labels and zines and have a good reputation. No website up yet, but they can be reached at [e-mail].
