Microcosm Expands Zine Store, Looking to Kickstart New "Scam" Anthology

Earlier this year we posted about Microcosm Publishing expanding their SE storefront and rolling out their “zine trike,” and somewhat buried within that post was a hint from Microcosm’s Jessie Duke about yet another possible expansion.  Well, early last month that hint became a reality as they moved to a new location on 636 SE 11th Ave, which provides them with “enough room for events, more than 6 people to browse the store at once, and to do warehousing.”  They are sharing the location with Printed Matter and Eberhardt Press, and are now just a short walk from “vegan village” staples Food Fight Grocery, Herbivore Clothing, Sweatpea Bakery, and Red & Black Cafe! The new store is open everyday from 11am-7pm, features a $2-$4 table, and is doling out free “bikey stickers” to customers who ride their bike to the store on Sundays.

In further Microcosm news, they have launched a Kickstarter project to help with the reprinting of early issues of Erik Lyle’s beloved long-running zine Scam.  This new anthology will bring together Scam‘s first four issues, and due to the will cost $5,000 more than Microcosm’s typical print runs, hence the need for Kickstarter.  All kind’s of prizes await donors, a full list of which can be seen on the project page.  Here is a video from Microcosm with more info on the project:
