legacy of the late Black Age great, writer/businessman/ visionary,

We want to thank our fans, cosplayers, 'squeraders, critics, haters, loyal vendors and participants of past Black Age events as we go through this transition phase in the growth of the Chicago Black Age event. Our success and that of the Black Age movement has always benefited from your positive energy, professionalism and creativity. We thank you very much for it all and plan to get even better!

We want to become as good as you want us to be!


This year "BLACK AGE XIV" will feature invitation only vendors, creators, and presenters to focus on quality standards, style, and image along with professional history.

I met the very talented Lauren at C2E2 during our "Black Comix" book panel organized by Jennings & Duffy and again at this event ONLI STUDIOS presented at the Trinity "mega church" in Chicago per its Artists' Ministry group. I was shocked to learn she is in 7th grade. We hope to feature her at "BLACK AGE XIV". Her Mom suggested she tell me the name she uses to explain her illustration style. She said, "Turtel, these are Japanafrican!"
