Linkage, Daddy-O!

Chicago is home to an incredible bevy of talent, possibly because of the ridiculously cold weather that forces people to stay indoors for half of the year...

The Old Guard of Chicago consists of a wide range of artists and styles. Alex Ross, Chris Ware, Jill Thompson, Ivan Brunetti, Geoff Darrow, Gene Ha, and Brian Azzarello all call Chicago home. All are some of the most gifted artists working in the medium, and all form a community of cartoonists which is unique in the US.

They have mentored a new generation of comic artists, who are also some of the best talent in the industry. Jeffrey Brown, Anders Nilsen, Paul Hornschemeier, Lilli Carre, Onsmith, and Mitch O'Connell, to name a few.

Check out all these guys and support them with your hard earned cash! Nobody gets rich in comics, and your support makes it possible for these guys to keep publishing.
