Blog Posts About Why Diverse Representation Matters

I’ve been maintaining these master posts of blogs on representation because I am driven by my own personal experiences on why representation matters so much.

Hey Comic Book Writers! Stop “Curing” Our Disabled Heroes!

Over the years, there have been many comic book heroes who are/have been disabled. Here’s the thing, though: as we all know, what dies in comic books (even if it’s the use of a body part), doesn&#…
