Radiator Comics at CAKE!

Come Say Hello in Chicago! Hello! It’s Neil! Before I ran Radiator Comics, I helped organize the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo. I’m so happy that Radiator Comics is returning to table at CAKE! We’ll be at table 808B, right next to Dave Ortega! Special guests at this show include Ashley Robin Franklin, Jamila Rowser, Jeremy Tinder, Steenz, and more! Come say hello at the Irish American Heritage Center 4626 N Knox Ave, Chicago IL Saturday May 2 11am - 6pm & Sunday May 3 11am - 5pm FREE! After CAKE, I’m going to be tabling with my own self-published comics at the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con in Juneau before spending a few days in the woods with a bunch of other cartoonists! I’m telling you because… Shipping for Radiator Comics will be suspended for the first half of May. Place orders by April 29 if you want your comics before May 20th! Which comics should you order??? Well, here are some new titles we’ve added to our distro… We recently added Uncoiling by Yoko O.K. to our distro! This great comic dives deep into Yoko’s family’s history through inventive and heartfelt storytelling. Yoko imagines conversations with family members who are no longer alive to reveal generational trauma and resilience! Congratulations to Chelsea Akpan for winning a 2025 MICE Mini-Grant for her comic, LOVEFOOL No. 2! We couldn’t keep issue 1 in stock for long, but issue 2 is a real treat of cartoon slapstick mishaps as we see the inner workings of the Sacred Hearts Club dating agency! Isle of Elsi vol. 3 collects the second large story arc of Alec Longstreth’s award-winning webcomic for kids! R.J. Jr. and Sally Sanders find themselves lost underground, and end up in the middle of a dwarf clan’s fight for freedom! This beautiful hardcover book features tons of wordplay, inventive uses of language and lettering, metaphors for modern-day issues, and a whole lot of fun! Testosterone Tuesday by House of Lief is the personal story of Lief’s decision to quit his job and start taking testosterone. New relationships, new job, new Lief! We’re always thrilled to add titles from Bulgilhan Press, and we’re happy to report four new titles have arrived recently. They’re all really beautiful, moody books you can really sink into. The real world will fade away if you give any of these four titles—Crawlspace by Violet Kitchen, Faster (Complete Edition) by Jesse Lonergan, Slices of Life by Qu, and Testament by J. Marshall Smith—your time. Independent horror fans rejoice! The latest volume of Mysto Press’ Paroxysm has arrived! This collection of comics, poetry, and illustration will cause a shudder to run down your spine as you may feel another presence reading over your shoulder! A little less scary, Ghost Stories by Giles Crawford is another stand-alone comic in his ongoing series, NewOldRare. In this issue, Neil reads Shirley Jackson a little too close to bedtime. Louis has to figure out how to exorcise the spirits haunting Neil’s imagination! Want to get comics, but don’t want to have to pick them out??
