[title]You’ve heard the story before: A group of misfits band together to fight crime and right wrongs. In this case, they are Neil Brideau, Edie Fake, Max Morris, Grace Tran and Jeff Zwirek, and together they organized CAKE, the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo. For two years, the indie comic supergroup has met at Wicker Park’s Quimby’s to fight for the return of an alt comics show in Chicago after a 15-year absence. Blood, sweat and paper cuts—plus benefits like “CAKE-AROKE” and an Indiegogo online fund-raising campaign—culminate in two days of workshops, exhibitions and panels. On Saturday 16 and Sunday 17, dozens of independent artists take over Columbia College’s Ludington Building, including these four local creators.
CAKE takes place Saturday 16 and Sunday 17.
