Thee Almighty & Insane: Chicago Gang Business Cards of the 1970s and 1980s is an ode to an idiosyncratic print subculture that emerged in Chicago just before the digital age, when street gangs made business cards displaying their symbols. , nicknames, territories and enemies as a symbol. It means asserting your pride, recruiting new members, and serving as general displays of membership. Less intentional, but perhaps more significant, is the role of these cards as historical artifacts: not only do they document the specific histories of these gangs and their members, but also the broader social dynamics of a contentious period in the city of Chicago. With enlarged reproductions of more than 70 cards and an introductory essay by collector Brandon Johnson, this book is an appreciation of the “compliment cards” of Chicago gangs: their hand-drawn graphics, their black fonts, their quirky names. and clever slogans.
