Compiled by The Kao, Min Christiensen, and David Daneman Andrews McMeel Publishing 9/26/2023, paperback SKU: 9781524880125 In this vibrant and affirming comics anthology, 29 trans & nonbinary comic artists share their personal journeys of self-discovery and acceptance. Featuring the work of Sage Coffey, Kyla Aiko, and Coco Ouwerkerk, The Out Side: Trans & Nonbinary Comics includes 29 creators' tales of self-love and affirmation and detailing their experiences with gender and identity. Originally published as a successful Kickstarter campaign, this expanded edition includes comics by Dana Simpson (bestselling author of Phoebe and Her Unicorn), Aidyn Huynh (Snailords), Wren Chavers, and more. Equal parts encouraging, comforting, and life-affirming, The Out Side is a love letter to the trans and nonbinary community, designed to inspire anyone who may be struggling with their own identity and to help educate those who seek greater understanding. As artist Julia Kaye writes in the book's introduction: "I'm so glad this book exists. It's a loud proclamation of our existence in the face of a culture that has for too long ignored our experiences." Reviews: "If you need something fun and joyful to look forward to this fall, look no further! This anthology includes work from 29 trans and nonbinary comic artists who share intimate, personal stories about their lives, gender journeys, and identities. It's a beautiful celebration of the messy complexity of trans and nonbinary lives and includes a diverse array of art and comics styles." -- Book Riot About the Editors: David Daneman is a cartoonist, podcaster and anthologist.
