Chicago Gang Cards

THEE ALMIGHTY & INSANE, this new edition brings together a unique selection of Chicago gang maps, this time organized geographically from south to north to reflect their territorial ties. This book pays tribute to this unique graphic subculture where pride, symbolism, and strategy mingled before the digital era.

With over 70 enlarged reproductions of original maps, highlighting their DIY graphics and bold typography, the book also serves as a historical testament to the complex social dynamics of the city at that time.

An edition enriched with an updated essay by collector Brandon Johnson, essential for understanding Chicago's urban history and alternative design.
