Little Stranger

Edie Fake's Gaylord Phoenix broke comics’ conventions on its way to winning the Ignatz Award for Outstanding Graphic Novel, becoming a touchstone for a new and radical queer movement.Since Gaylord Phoenix, Edie Fake transcended the underground zine scene, with solo exhibitions at the Thomas Robertello Gallery, Western Exhibitions and New York’s Marlborough Chelsea. His illustrations have appeared in the Chicago Reader, LARB and the New York Times. He has been the subject of PBS’ Art 21 series and features in Vice and ARTNews. Fake co-founded the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo. He also gained notoriety as one of the USC7. Fake received the first Printed Matter Award for Artists, designing graphics for the New York and LA Art Book Fairs, and American Apparel. His presence is ever expanding.Even as Fake established himself as one America’s most vital fine artists, he continued making comics, which could only be found in underground zines and anthologies. Little Stranger brings them together. Edie will tour with Little Stranger, which launches alongside Gaylord Phoenix, in its return to print. Better still, Fake has returned to Gaylord Phoenix; the queer classic’s eighth installment also debuts alongside Little Stranger. Prepare for the year of Edie Fake.
