The products of Baltimore collective Closed Caption Comics include varied narrative, tactile, and visual experiences — from psychedelic vignettes inspired by black metal's in-your-face explosions to three-dimensional pop-up art books and crisp, line-driven renderings on par with those by 1950s Marvel penciler Jack Katz. Beginning with loosely curated illustrations for DIY, Xeroxed zines produced by the students of the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2004, Closed Caption has since morphed its production into beautifully screenprinted and hand-bound books. Influences stem from loves of anime, fantasy storytelling, and Boglin hand-puppets; viewing the works at this exhibition reveals the kaleidoscopic styles and multifaceted talents of each artist.
