History

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.

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.

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