Hello y'all! Sparkplug is heading to the Midwest for one final show. We'll be exhibiting at <a href="http://cakechicago.com/" target="_blank">CAKE Chicago</a> with Suzette Smith. This is one of our favorite fests and it's free and open to the public, so be sure to check it out! Info below:<br />
<br />
<b>Chicago Alternative Comics Expo (CAKE)<br />
Saturday and Sunday, June 11 and 12, 2016<br />
11 am – 6 pm<br />
Center on Halsted<br />
3656 N Halsted<br />
FREE and open to the public!<br />
<a href="http://cakechicago.com/">http://www.cakechicago.com</a></b><br />
<br />
Also, on Sunday, there will be a special panel about Sparkplug, hosted by Austin English! Details below:<br />
<b> </b><br />
<b>Sunday, 3:00–4:00 A Celebration of Sparkplug Comic Books</b><br />
<br />
CAKE 2016 will mark the last show for Sparkplug Comic Books, a
company that, throughout its 14 years, has played host to an exciting
and fresh roster of diverse artists. Founded by Dylan Williams, whose
strong ethical sense and personal taste drove the direction of the
company, Sparkplug was a resolutely small press, focused on handmade and
independently produced comics in a world veering ever toward mass
production. After Williams passed away in September of 2011, his wife,
Emily Nilsson, took over, and, in February 2013, passed the helm to
artist Virginia Paine, who has been running the company since. This
discussion will bring together a combination of artists who’ve worked
with Sparkplug throughout the years, many of whom are also, in the vein
of Dylan Williams, multi-hyphenates: artists, publishers, distributors
and critics. Chris Cilla (Rattlesnake Dick, The Heavy Hand), Zak Sally
(Sammy the Mouse, La Mano Press), Suzette Smith (Ce/Ze), and moderator
Austin English (Gulag Casual, Domino Books) join together to celebrate
14 years of an amazing small press and the important work of Virginia
Paine, Emily Nilsson and and Dylan Williams. This panel is sponsored by
Comix Revolution<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Ce/Ze</i>, Suzette Smith’s dreamy take on science
fiction/fantasy, follows two 7<sup>th</sup> graders who share a psychic link.
Amelia Smith and Honey Czarny discover that they share fragmented memories of their
past lives in another universe as powerful beings named Ce and Ze. A rival
king’s plot to kill Ze nearly succeeded, so Ce and Ze were forced to escape to
our world. Honey and Amelia study and emulate human behavior but feel no real
connection to our reality reality: Ce contemplates trading the soul of one of
her friends for a favor from the forest fairies, saying that she doesn’t think
of herself and Ze as people. The girls seem to feel trapped in our world as in
a nightmare, gradually learning more about their home universe and the danger
therein through dreams and guided trances. Smith’s floaty style and fluid compositions
create an evocative, unpredictable dreamscape, further blurring the hazy boundaries
between visions, memories, and reality.<o:p></o:p></div>

Hello friends,</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
It
is with mixed feelings that I must announce that I will be shutting
down Sparkplug this year. I appreciate the opportunities that running
Sparkplug has given me and the wonderful people it has introduced me
to. I know Sparkplug means a lot to many people and I want to assure
you this is not a decision I've made lightly. It's become increasingly
difficult for me to balance my day job as assistant manager at an art
gallery, my own comics career, and Sparkplug. I don't have the time to
put into nurturing the press and its artists that they deserve.</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
I
would like to express my gratitude to people who have joined and helped
me on this journey, and everyone who has supported Sparkplug and me in
the years since Dylan's passing. You will always have a place in my
heart.</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
My
plan right now is to spend about five more months as Sparkplug - tabling
at LAZF, Linework and CAKE - and then close up shop. The back catalog
will be transferred to Marc Arsenault of Alternative Comics - a person
who takes great care in promoting older titles.</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Until then, the <a href="http://sparkplugcomicbooks.com/shop/" target="_blank">online shop</a> will remain open, with plenty of Sparkplug's wonderful selection to choose from. </div>
<div style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Again, thank you all. It's been an honor to publish in this community.</div>

This minicomic follows the threads of Bird Girl and Fox
Girl’s lives after the dissolution of their friendship. Bird Girl moves from
the desert to the city, where she works as a secretary, eventually saving up
enough money for surgery to look like a human girl. Fox Girl becomes a daredevil
model, only accepting potentially life-threatening assignments. Her photos
inspire of viral trend of teenage girls taking selfies just prior to committing
suicide; her popularity plummets and, jobless and homeless, she leaves the city.
Years later, both transformed, Bird Girl and Fox Girl meet again in the desert.
The comic’s lack of dialogue produces a distance from the reader in which the
text echoes. Yumi Sakugawa's art is sparse yet intricate; the rhythmic pacing of image and text
create a poetic, haunting story.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Wren and Miriam, two anthropology majors studying abroad in
Australia, are selected for a trip to the Kimberley Desert to study aboriginal
culture. While Miriam is overly enthusiastic and gung ho about the trip and
meeting aboriginal people, Wren seems ambivalent about the trip and unsure of
what she will learn. Miriam’s fascination with foreign societies reads like cultural
tourism, which clearly makes Wren uncomfortable. While Miriam is blonde and
white, Wren is of mixed heritage, which leads to a few awkward confrontations,
as when one of the aboriginal guides asks Wren offhand, “So what are ya?” In a
society in which there doesn’t seem to be much cultural or racial overlap, Wren
is somewhat of an oddity. Miriam is clearly an outsider, but Wren is more
different to categorize. When a different guide later asks about her racial
background, she replies that she’s black, part Native American, and part white.
“It can be confusing, you know, defining yourself. Sometimes I don’t feel like
I fit in,” she concludes. These conversations act as microcosms of Wren’s
ambivalence about her mixed cultural and racial heritage in a society that
prefers things to fall into distinct categories. <o:p></o:p></div>

The inaugural title in the Sparkplug Minis series, <i>Hungry Summer</i> follows several characters’ interactions with Baba Yaga, a supernatural figure with roots in Slavic folklore. An ambiguous, witch-like character, Baba Yaga resides deep in the woods and has the ability to bless and curse in equal measure: a popped-collar bro who insults her is turned into a ghost, while someone who assists her with her heavy bag gains the ability to cough up jewelry. Craw’s scratchy but deliberate linework imparts a degree of realism to the otherworldly narrative while preserving its ambiguity.</div>
