#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

So, we have a horror Kickstarter coming up that is, quite literally, six years in the making: It’s called PATERFAMILIAS, and its a book that delves into the sheer terror of an abduction, but heightened with a sense of the unknown. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sid...

Laugh Riot #1 is a 24-page comic book hat can only be described as Looney Tunes versus 1984. It's an anti-fascist thrill ride of japes, play, and good old fashioned ultra-violence!

THE GHOSTKEEPER came out this year! 👻
It’s about taking care of yourself, learning to set boundaries, and coping w grief/death/loss, and it’s 🌈queer🌈

It’s been called “a warm blanket nest”, “gentle and powerful”, and “surprisingly creepy” 👻 so it’s the total package!

theghostkeeper.carrd.co

A page from my comic in which prudence pulled a knife on Dorian because she thinks he’s a ghost

“ Take time to be sad. You’re not a bad child Lucy, you’re a hurt child. Give yourself permission to grieve for the way things were and then see if you can reach outside your sadness to a more neutral place. Only then, can the rot start to heal.”

I can’t wait to be able to share what’s next for what started as a short comic idea Penny and I came up with together 3 years ago.
