WE’RE STILL HERE: AN ALL TRANS COMICS ANTHOLOGY + PREVIEW PAGE

Did y’all know you can now pre-order We’re Still Here at Stacked Deck Press?

Here’s a little synopsis:

The first anthology of its kind, We’re Still Here: An All-Trans Comics Anthology offers dozens of new stories that render trans experiences in comics form: some fiction, some nonfiction, some sad, some thoughtful, some funny, some bizarre, all authentic. Edited by Jeanne Thornton and Tara Avery. (Release Date: July 2018.)

I’m thrilled to be apart of this anthology! (You can see a preview of my comic above.) I can’t wait to read all the new comics by the other contributors.

My story "THEM," a lighthearted look at various whackjobs I've encountered over the years, is included. Check it out, and congrats to editors Tara Madison Avery & @nefarismo!

Review - Primahood: Magenta by Tyler Cohen

There is an appalling dearth of books about the bisexual parenting experience, which is galling on its own but more appalling because bisexual people are those in the LGBTQ group most likely to have children.  Primahood: Magneta by Tyler Cohen, a short collection of her comics and art about the experience of parenting, is a welcome addition.  

Cohen is a gender nonconforming feminist bisexual and her partner is black biracial.  Together they parent Nera, an exuberant, feminine, and loveable biracial daughter in San Francisco.  Its clear that Cohen loves both her daughter and partner, and this memoir is grounded in brief stories about that love.  

I think many bisexual feminist parents will relate to the endless anxiety over Barbie, Disney Princesses, and Monster High dolls.  Because Cohen is fairly butch herself, these struggles take on extra weight as she worries, second guesses, and tries to meet her hyper-femme daughter on her own terms.  The result is an enjoyable (if too brief) collection of parental musings and moments that often spark more questions than answers.  

The vignettes in this short book pack a quick punch and actually leave me hoping for a longer work on this topic by the same author, perhaps after her daughter is grown.

Primahood: Magenta - Slice-of-Life Storytelling with a Surreal Sideline in Tyler Cohen's Warm Exploration of Modern Parenting

Primahood: Magenta – Slice-of-Life Storytelling with a Surreal Sideline in Tyler Cohen’s Warm Exploration of Modern Parenting

In Primahood: Magenta Tyler Cohen juxtaposes slice-of-life storytelling with visual metaphor in two inter-related strands of storytelling that ostensibly sit side-by-side yet occasionally seep into each other’s narratives. On the one hand we have the presumably autobio story of MamaPants bringing up her daughter Nene in a world of artificial social conventions. On the other we have the…

An excerpt from my contribution to the Queer Heroes coloring book that’s being produced as a Kickstarter perk for the funding of the Alphabet Anthology from Stacked Deck Press.

Here’s a couple panels from “Take It Back”, the comic I drew about small-town homophobia and healing through painting for Alphabet Anthology!

Alphabet is an anthology of brand-new comics by queer and trans creators, both newcomers and established rockstars alike.  The contributor list includes awesome people like Dax Tran-Caffee, Hazel Newlevant, Jennifer Camper, Ed Luce, Dylan Edwards, Howard Cruse, and tons more!  It’s on Kickstarter right now, and is about 15% funded as of this writing, so signal boosting is definitely appreciated <3

Funds from the Kickstarter will go toward printing books, paying artists, and helping to start Stacked Deck Press, a new LGBT-owned-and-operated comics publisher.  All good things!  Thanks in advance to everybody who checks out the book, or helps us spread word about these queer comics!
