The 4th annual Kansas City Zine Con will take place on Saturday, September 8th, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m at UMKC’s Pierson Auditorium. The event is free and open the public, and will feature exhibitors, workshops, and displays by zine makers and Do-It-Yourself cultural enthusiasts.

Zines are self-published DIY publications, typically made using a copy machine. Once a year at KC Zine Con, participants exhibit, sell, and trade their independently published zines, comix, books, newspapers, anthologies, tracts, pamphlets, and DIY radical readables of many forms. At this free event, anyone can come and wander the tables, chat with the incredible artists, make a whole host of new friends, and get tons of zines!
