Elsewhere: Volume 3 by Unlikely Heroes Studios – launching 2/15
A lovingly curated anthology of short pieces by independent creators from all over the world.
It can be difficult to find authenticity. Human truths and unashamed expressions seem to be going out of style. We shy away from that which frightens us, we don’t want to admit enjoying simple pleasures, we are uncomfortable abiding in confusion. The problem may be one of place. Try looking Elsewhere... In these pages, comics creators from all over the world have come together to open their hearts, minds, and veins to share stories — authentically, truthfully, and unashamedly. Genres, styles, settings, and moods shift organically, dreamlike. The safest way to make this journey is with an open mind, a snack and a beverage, and some time to think, absorb, and feel. Welcome home.
House of Queerbodies: Part 1 by by Robin Richardson and Taylor Curreysmith
Twitter: @Taylor_CS and @_robinillo
Ellen travels to a world where fairy tales and nursery rhymes are real to find the story her grandmother forgot.
Katharine Pyle wrote and illustrated As the Goose Flies in 1901, combining the mythologies of Mother Goose and Charles Perrault with her own spin. The Queerbodies are beautiful, magical people who live in this world of myth. They take forgotten stories and reimagine them into new and beautiful works of art. Ellen and the Gander travel the countryside, helping those they encounter. Their adventures are intermixed with the characters telling familiar stories from their own point of view. Katharine Pyle likely intended "queerbodies" to only refer to the strange, otherworldly creators of stories, art, and dreams. However, I was inspired to reimagine the story as one that warmly makes room for queer representation and body positivity. House of the Queerbodies is about family and treats its queer, disabled, and diverse characters as natural and welcome elements of a fantasy adventure.
