SCHEDULE CHANGE: LICZ! will now end 30 minutes earlier at 4:30pm! Unfortunately, our venue has accidentally double-booked the space toward the end of our fest. Sometimes things like this happen. To try to keep things running smoothly, we've agreed to close doors to the public just a bit early.

LICZ! is tomorrow! 🙀 We're getting all the last-minute details squared away. It's so exciting!! Keep an eye out tomorrow morning for our table map!

I am a big fan of comics artists in general. Getting to work with an artist like Chris for a project like LICZ! feels like, I don't know, something that is totally unreal! He's going to think I'm exaggerating, but I am not. It is dreamlike for me. I tear up if I look at them for too long.

Lansing Independent Comics & Zine Fest @liczfest.com · 12/04/2026

I'm in love with these things. Oh my god. I asked Chris to draw some thumbnail designs for a poster, and his sketches blew me away. We went with three designs, because I couldn't choose. And the final prints are just nuts!
