Zine Fest coincided with the Comic Symposium of Chicago, hosted by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, which featured many comic artists who got their start as zinesters. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The fest was organized by four Chicago-area zinesters, Ramsey Beyer, Neil Brideau, Matt Czerwinski and Leslie Perrine, who noticed that for a city with such a vibrant zine community, it was odd that Chicago had no event that offered a chance for them to come together. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In attendance at both events were notable Chicago-area artists and writers, including Jeffrey Brown, John Porcellino and Anne Elizabeth Moore, whose work has influenced fellow zinesters and comic book artists alike. ❋ Unknown (2010)

This weekend is the annual Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo, an annual convention of mini-comics makers, self-publishers, zinesters, new undergrounders and other not-quite-mainstream comics folks that constitutes one of several of the reasons that Columbus, Ohio is such a great comics town. ❋ Unknown (2009)

We also have zinesters who come into the library to present their work. ❋ Unknown (2009)

It really sells the class to the folks at home for them to see comics professionals treating their children as peers, fellow zinesters. ❋ Unknown (2008)
