ICG was formed in order to publish Tarzan and the Comics of Idaho, an anthology to benefit the Boise Public Library[2] and to bring attention to comic book writers and artists from the state of Idaho.[3]

On March 25th, 2015, Randall Kirby, who contributed stories to both Tarzan and the Comics of Idaho #1 and #2, was featured in a story by The Huffington Post and his three page story from issue #1 was featured in the article.[4]

On October 6, 2015, The Best American Comics 2015 was released, and series editor Bill Kartalopoulos named Idaho Comics Group contributors Dennis P. Eichhorn's Extra Good Stuff and Dame Darcy's Voyage of the Temptress to the list of "Notable Comics" published from September 1, 2013, to August 31, 2014.[5] Dennis Eichhorn contributed to Tarzan and the Comics of Idaho #1 and #2 as well as Idaho Comics #1 and #2.
