History[edit]

The release of Catherine Kidd's early works, such as everything I know about love I learned from taxidermy in 1996, was successful for the company, allowing them to expand and publish more of Kidd's works and works from other authors.[6]

In 2006, for the ten-year anniversary of the company, Brown commissioned new work from all the people he has published through the decade to include in a book called The Portable Conundrum. The release of the anthology included a large party with all of the contributing authors attending and special readings from the authors' individual works.[7]

In 2016, Conundrum released 20x20, an anthology celebrating 20 years of independent culture.[8][9] The mandate of Conundrum Press has shifted to literary graphic novels.[10]
