Late Comeback Press
Late Comeback Press is a micropress based out of Northern Virginia and is run by three Asian-American women. Late Comeback primarily focuses on mental health and representing Asian-American culture in its most subtle, authentic light and detracts from the palatable or exotic, as depicted in Western media. We build our zines intricately and by hand to represent the connection between our art, our identities, and our community, as pieces of us to you.

Chas Wagner is a curator and organizer of The Print Party, specializing in independent magazines. Based in Pittsburgh, his work focuses on social activations of the print periodical; via retail pop-ups, bookshop lecture series' and the launching of a sport book festival (Bleed and Score) in Brooklyn. He thought about biking here on the 330 mile+ Great Allegheny Passage Trail, but the rainy forecast and heftiness of the books dampened the prospects of this dreamy ride.

Cap ABF
The first edition of East City Art’s Capital Art Book Fair took place at Eastern Market’s North Hall on April 1 & 2, 2023. Over 30 exhibitors from across the DMV, the US and Canada presented books as works of art, editions about art or artists, limited run books, prints as well as DIY zines and graphic novels. Exhibitors include artists, independent publishers, small presses, illustrators and photographers. East City Art partnered with Capitol Hill Arts Workshop and Hill Center to co-locate offsite programming during the fair. DC-based, award-winning artist Carolina Mayorga created an ephemeral, site-specific work using hand-cut vinyl pieces in Eastern Market’s North Hall titled "Capital Splash".
