As Black Josei Press approaches our indefinite hiatus, I wanted to share some of the quotes featured in Gladiolus Magazine—design by Foxee Design.

Just 1 Ode to Keisha left :)
So happy to see some more print copies of some comics I adore back in the shop—be sure to grab these as BJP is going on hiatus! These would make great gifts for upcoming holidays! 💜
