Hotsauce the dog!

All six issues of the comics fanzine "Hotsauce the dog!" and cat comic "KittyMow" and maybe stickers if I can make them in time. Hotsauce the dog is a comics fanzine about the music scene in Denver Colorado, and beyond! Hotsauce is a little singer-songwriter just trying to make it in the big city. Along the way she sees amazing bands, falls in love, gets to be on the radio, enters a rollerskate dance contest, and makes friends! Kitty Mow is a comic about a cat, with a sweet poem, suitable for all ages. Also have a mini freebie.

Edlum Prints

I plan to sell mainly mini zines. I will also have free anti-ICE, community care, and family preparedness zines. I have a series of transmasc paper doll zines, punk book rec art zines, queer medieval knight mini zines, and am currently working on a zine about being disabled and butch. All of my work is hand drawn, collaged, and printed. I may also have a couple book marks and small prints for sale, but I want this to be the opportunity to highlight my zines that people usually pass over at other tabling events.

Art of Pill

I sell quarter-sized zines, mostly contemplative and introspective commentaries at the intersection of marginalized identities, but some are collections of art from various sketchbooks I have. I also write and illustrate and hand-bind half-sized comics. Occasionally at zine festivals I also sell stickers, postcards, and bookmarks, but typically I keep the supplementary product to a minimum.

Sublunary.space

I have 8 issues of the zines I have made for the project Sublunary.space. They run from 32 pages to 52 pages, they are not dense though. (Most are 15 dollars, one is 20, and and two are 12 dollars) They are full bleed printed pages and stapled. A mix of graphic design, poetry or ramblings, photos, and are an expression for me to process different subject matters. I only have one sticker design for the project but I can only bring the zines if you would prefer. There are some heavy topics in the zines but I will label the ones that are not appropriate for minors very very clearly.

Hello Magnolia Print Shop

Mel’s multidisciplinary background leads them naturally into a land of crossing and combining mediums in their zine work. The outcome tends to fall into the perzine category, though you’ll also be able to find themes of poetry, photography / art, mental health, comics, and a lot more!

I create psychedelic comics about space wizards, robot sculptors, and crystal witches. The stories range from full-color battles on alien planets to more poetic and abstract black-and-white sequences. I’ll have a mix of self-published mini-comics and comics published by small presses, as well as a couple riso prints. My newest comics will be an issue of Lumpen mag I co-edited and a new edition of a riso self-published mini-comic.

Kansas City Literary Collective

We don't plan on selling anything! We are a free queer and liberation focused people's library who make a lot of art/media recommendation zines that would be free to take or trade for at our table. We've made 6 zines so far as a collective and will likely have 2-3 more come November. The zines are a wide variety of themes from Queer Medieval Space Opera Fiction recs to Decolonial Earth Day Nonfiction recs. We collaboratively make all of the art, text, and collages in the zines. Additionally, we are interested in meeting local zine libraries and zine creators, because we'd love to collaborate on potential ways to use the KCLitC borrowing system to get more zines in people's hands. We also have several books about making zines, book binding, collaging, and other mixed media reference materials we'd love to bring for people to borrow as supplementary material to all of our zines.

catmothcrow

My zines explore themes of identity, magic, exploration, motivation, curiosity, and community. I'll have titles from my catmothcrow series — issues of both the quarter-sized perzine (4 titles in the series so far), as well as back issues of the monthly newsletter — copies of many of my mini zines ("Baby Bird", "Mail Snails", "Zines as Activism", "Mothman", "Riding Roller Coasters with Vincent Price" and more), and some witchy zines ("Hagwitch", "Twin Peaks Tarot", "The Witchy Zinesters Pocket Book of Spells"). I will also have 3 sticker designs and a cup of pin-back buttons.

Zines! I have a few new titles, such as a Choose Your Own Adventure inspired game zine, some oldies but goodies, like my Pizza, Matrix, and Mending zines. My table will consist of 90% zines and a few stickers. My zines vary wildly for one another, but each is a deep dive into something I'm interested in, many have hand-drawn illustration and hand-lettering. I am a fan of cut and paste, analog zine making processes.

Catherine Rybak

I have a collection of nature inspired zines of mainly all my favorite birds and animals. I create zines based on places I go to and of zoos and aquariums I visit. I am working on a series of zines about different aquariums I’ve been to. All my zines are Risograph printed to make them super fun and bright. I like to make some of my zines unfold into posters as well to add a different way of displaying them.

Kansas City Democratic Socialists of America

We are planning on giving away our zines for free, or trading if folks would like, because while some of our zines are created by chapter members, others were created by DSA National or members at other chapters, so it wouldn't be right to sell those since we aren't the original creators. The zines I know we have off the top of my head are about politics and LGTBQIA+ rights and immigrant rights.
