Kickstarting Comics: ‘Transphoria: A Trans/Nonbinary Comic Anthology’
by Richard Bruton
Another great looking and important Kickstarter for you to get behind right now – Transphoria: A Trans/Nonbinary Comic Anthology.
.
From Lifeline Comics, the publisher that brought you Bi Visibility, Rainbow Canvas, and Hairology, comes Transphoria: A Trans/Nonbinary Comic Anthology. But you need to move quickly, this 90-page graphic novel with 19 new short stories about Trans & Nonbinary experiences of gender euphoria runs until Friday 28 June!
Daniel Falco leads the editorial team for Transphoria, wanting to bring trans and nonbinary stories to light in the anthology, tales that aren’t always made visible in comics.
As they say at the KS:
“We know there’s an expansive spectrum of stories to be told, identities to be seen, and endless potential for what queer creators can accomplish. That was why we wanted to bring these writers and artists together to create this anthology. There’s no one way or wrong way to be trans and we’re here to tell all kinds of stories in all kinds of genres – from autobiographies and romances to supernatural and science fiction, trans rep matters!”
The 19 shorts in Transphoria features the work of Ben Kahn, Chris Shehan, Kam White, Brent Fisher, Megan Huang , Ash Poprik, Kat Calamia & Phil Falco, Valeria Peri, Robin Brooks, C.K. Carpenter, Michela Cacciatore, and more.
Plenty of different tiers to choose from, plenty of add-ons, but the important thing is the book and it’s vital message.
Transphoria: A Trans & Non Binary Comic Book Anthology is funding right now on Kickstarter and will end on Fri, June 28 2024 3:00 am BST.
