4 Pages 16 Bars: A Visual Mixtape began in 2013 as an art installation that ran for four months at Chicago institution The Silver Room. The event celebrated the cultural diversity of the independent comic book scene… And, was a stone groove, baby.
In 2015, the first volume of the 4 Pages 16 Bars: A Visual Mixtape anthology series hit the stands. They said it couldn’t be done, but eight volumes later, 4 Pages 16 Bars has become the longest-running anthology series celebrating independent works from creators of color!
2023 is also the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop and this volume '23 Til Infinity, not only celebrates the resiliency of the culture but also reflects the endurance of the Black Comix movement.
