Join us on 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟳𝘁𝗵 at 𝟲:𝟬𝟬𝗽𝗺 as we welcome 𝗩𝗶𝗸𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗧. 𝗞𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 and 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺 𝗢. 𝗧𝘆𝗹𝗲𝗿, editors and contributors to 𝙒𝙚 𝘽𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜: 𝘼𝙣 𝘼𝙡𝙡-𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠/𝘼𝙡𝙡-𝙌𝙪𝙚𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙘𝙞-𝙁𝙞/𝙁𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙮 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙘𝙨 𝘼𝙣𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮 recently published by Stacked Deck Press in association with Prism Comics earlier this year.

In an anthology unlike any other, 𝘞𝘦 𝘉𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 brings together over 20 queer Black comic writers and illustrators to create a collection of sci-fi and fantasy comics and art from perspectives often shut out from popular fiction. From interdimensional and intergalactic exploration to tales of witches, merfolk, and monsters, the volume showcases a wide range of stories and styles that reflect the unlimited possibilities of afrofuturism.

𝗩𝗶𝗸𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗧. 𝗞𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 is an Associate Director of Student Life at Occidental College and is a writer and co-host and co-creator of MEGASHEEN, a podcast on geekdom and queer large.

Editors Kerney and Tyler won the 2024 Kinnard Better Future Award for their work on 𝘞𝘦 𝘉𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 which features the works of Valerie Complex, Jay Hero, E.B. Hutchins, Paul Kellam, Rupert Kinnard, Ajuan Mance, and Joe Phillips, among others.
