Join us for an evening of readings from four Wisconsin authors: Donna Rewolinski, Joy Ann Ribar, Kim Suhr and Mary Wimmer.

Join us at Lion's Tooth to celebrate the launch of the Community Scholars Travel Fund, a dynamic and empowering initiative established to foster academic and personal growth among individuals in Milwaukee, Wisconsin's underserved or economically disadvantaged communities. In partnership with local organizations, this fund seeks to eliminate barriers to education, facilitate cross-cultural exchanges, and broaden horizons by providing financial support to scholars who face financial constraints in pursuing travel opportunities.


Guest speakers Dr. Monique Liston, Founder, Chief Strategist and Joyful Militant at UBUNTU Research and Evaluation, and Dr. Michael Carriere, Professor of History and Director of the MSOE Honors Program at the Milwaukee School of Engineering will be on hand to further discuss this innovative program.

A portion of Lion's Tooth sales will be donated to the fund; there will be other ways to donate as well. Or just come out and hear about this exciting development! Can't make it?

America’s most famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, was born in 1867 in the rolling hills of Richland Center, Wisconsin, to a family of Unitarians. Even with world-class commissions like New York City’s Guggenheim Museum, his organic architecture remains rooted in Wisconsin’s landscape, from affordable-housing prototypes in Milwaukee to his summer home and architecture school in rural Spring Green. This comprehensive guide to Wright’s designs (and those of his protégés) that are open to the public—as well as insider historical information about sites now demolished, and those available for “drive-bys” only—is for the architecture or history fan looking for tours, overnight stays or creative inspiration.

Based in Milwaukee’s Bay View neighborhood, Kristine Hansen is a nationally recognized design and travel author with articles published on Travel + Leisure’s and Architectural Digest’s websites, as well as in Time, Midwest Living, and Milwaukee Magazine. She is also the author of Wisconsin Cheese Cookbook: Creamy, Cheesy, Sweet, and Savory Recipes from the State’s Best Creameries. ​

In honor of Banned Books Week, Cactus Book Club will read Gender Queer: a Memoir by Maia Kobabe, otherwise known as ‘The Most Banned Book of 2022’. This illustrated/graphic memoir documents the author’s “journey of self-identity, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction, and facing the trauma and fundamental violation of pap smears”.


We're going to represent Milwaukee comics in Michigan! More info about the fest here.

I was in the area and decided to give Collectors Asylum a go and in the end I was glad I did! It's a nice looking store that feels like it is also a home residence, easy to move around in and very clean and colorful to boot! The single individual manning the register was friendly, patient and helpful to boot! The assortment of items provided by the Collectors Asylum was vast, varied and just plain old cool to look at. If I has ONE complaint it was parking I'd a bot AWKWARD but nothing too bad. If you're in the area give Collectors Asylum a chance, it's a nice place! Pictures are of the outside of the building and single but Great Comic I got!

First time visiting today and it was an awesome store! Tons of comics, toys, collectibles at really good prices. Shop owner was very friendly and gave me a great deal. Can't wait to go back!
