Scrappy and individualistic, yet community-focused: It's no wonder that the zine format is beloved by queer artists. The underground gallery Push/Pull, in association this year with Emerald Comics Distro, will once again host LGBTQ+ zine and print creators at a daylong pop-up market and celebration. Special guests will include idiosyncratic local artists like Kassandra Davis (with the autobiographical Mockery and Vodka), Ignatz Award–nominated Craig Hurd-McKenney, trans artist Hayden Stern, and writer and comix maker Anne Bean, plus Indianan "queer and grief comics" artist Ileana Haberman-Ducey. Their zines will delight your queer eyes, and there will be free stickers, books, and other merch. Feel free to bring the kids—there will be plenty of clearly designated family-friendly zines and books.
