CAKE: Chicago Alternative Comics Expo

For readers of independent comics and small press publications, there's no event sweeter than CAKE (short for the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo). This year's event moves to the Broadway Armory, bringing together underground creators and fans for two days of panels, workshops and shopping. If you've ever wanted to see what's possible with a pen, some paper, a stapler and a little imagination, this is one of the city's finest showcases of DIY ingenuity.
