A stunning, hilarious, and emotional collection of comic strips about a cartoonist discovering herself as a transgender woman.

WE DID IT!!! Thank you guys so much. We broke $9,000, and you've unlocked two options for yourselves: you can ADD ON the Finding Dee softcover X-men homage variant and get both covers, or POST-campaign when you check out in Backerkit, you will be able to CHOOSE which cover you want!!
We've also announced a last-minute stretch goal to see if we can hit it before campaign end: a FINDING DEE metal bookmark free for ALL PHYSICAL BACKERS if we can hit $10,500 before campaign's end!! This queer, rainbowy masterpiece is going to look INCREDIBLE on metal!!!
And finally, some PROJECTS WE LOVE:
How to Draw Black People, by our good friend Malik Shabazz, is up on IndieGogo right now, as a special revamped version for Black History Month! BACK IT HERE RIGHT NOW!!!
We bought the FIRST iteration of this book when it came out and it is an ABSOLUTELY phenomenal resource for artists trying to widen their skill net and really understand how to draw Black people, hair, culture, and EVERYTHING else!! Highly, highly recommend.
Next, we have our other good friend Kat Calamia's current project, HAIROLOGY! BACK IT HERE RIGHT NOW!!
Kat Calamia, Phil Falco (Bi Visibility: A Bisexual Anthology) and Jamila Rowser (Wash Day Diaries) unite to bring you a brand-new comic book anthology: HAIROLOGY! With a foreword from the legendary Gail Simone (Batgirl, Birds of Prey).
There are 20+ involved creators, with the likes of Sterling Gates (Supergirl, The Flash), Sarah Leuver (Teen Titans Go!), Kenan Halilović (WEBTOON’s Witch Creek Road), Tilly & Susan Bridges (Monster High, Star Trek Adventures), Mary Crispies (WEBTOON’s Angel's Quest), Erin O'Neill Jones (Reject Squad), Brant Fowler (Last Ember Press), Salomée Luce-Antoinette (Nubia), and many more!
Everybody has their own unique and deeply personal relationship with their hair, so we wanted to create a platform for creators to tell their diverse stories.
Collecting twelve (12) original stories, Hairology tackles diverse topics including natural hair, cancer, transitioning, body hair, dye, balding, and locs across a wide spectrum of genres which includes: action, slice of life, sci-fi, modern fantasy, autobiography, dystopia, and even werewolves!
WOW, what a crazy weekend!! Thank you all so much for your generosity and help sharing the project! Over the goal we go, and onto new horizons and hopefully some STRETCH GOALS before the campaign ends on the 14th! And with that, our first stretch goal announcement:
THE FINDING DEE/UNLIKELY HEROES HOMAGE VARIANT COVER!! This awesome cover will become available as a choice for the softcover edition of the book when we hit and pass $9,000!! It features Dee, Heidi, Poe, and a bunch of UHS characters!!
And as usual, some PROJECTS WE LOVE:
Our good friend Charlie McElvy is finishing out his campaign for The Complete Spider-Squirrel Volume One Ultimate Edition! BACK IT HERE RIGHT NOW BEFORE IT ENDS! Volume One opens with an immediate intro to our two heroes--no origin stories, no "get to know you" section, just jumping into the action--Spider-Squirrel and Trash Panda leap right into action to... find... a... new... girlfiriend for Spider-Squirrel??
Wait, wait wait. What am I writing copy for again? <<SIGH>> Well, yes, that's how things start, apparently, but then something happens that's pretty comicbooky-awesome: chrono-dimensional breaches begin to pop-up all over. Characters from all over the indieverse, past and present and future, begin to appear on the scene. One of these characters, a very stereotypical 1990s-era villain, sends our heroic duo into action! It's crimefighting time!
And our other amazing friend and coworker, RUSSELL NOHELTY, USA Today bestselling author and all-around badass, is running a campaign for The Obsidian Spindle Saga! BACK IT HERE RIGHT NOW!!
Do you adore fairy tales? Are you obsessed with mythology? Do you flip for portal fantasy? Then you'll love The Obsidian Spindle Saga.
Fairy tales are real. Rose Briar is a diabetic college student without insurance. She’s been scraping by through a combination of maxing out credit cards and relying upon the kindness of strangers. Unfortunately, she’s spent every dollar at her disposal. There’s no money left to buy her life-saving insulin. Without her medication, Rose falls into a diabetic coma. She tumbles into a deep slumber and wakes up in a fantastical place called the Dream Realm, where fairy tales and legends of old are still very much alive.
She has one chance to wake up.
She must trek across the world, visit the most powerful object in the land, the Obsidian Spindle, and entreat the fates; the only beings powerful enough to send her soul back to Earth.
But evil forces don’t want her to leave. They will stop at nothing to capture her and make sure she never goes home again.
Now, with the help of her half-gorgon girlfriend and a mysterious red rider, Rose must race across the land fighting dragons, monsters, and the forces of the Wicked Witch, Nimue, in order to reach the Obsidian Spindle before her body dies on Earth and she’s trapped in the Dream Realm forever.
Will she be able to wake up? Can she survive? That is the genesis of the Obsidian Spindle Saga (simplified sometimes as TOSS below), and the first book The Sleeping Beauty.
