TL;DR: You can now snag a copy of my new zine from my Ko-Fi shop! Neat!

I first started making trans comics over 25 years ago, and while some have seen publication in anthologies here and there, I didn’t actually have any kind of collected print version of my very earliest works. I don’t even have them on my website anymore; I’d taken them down when I streamlined this site to be more of a portfolio and less of a giant dump of literally every comic I’d ever created. The art style of these early comics doesn’t reflect my current style, and over the years the topics I’d covered in them have drifted out of contemporary relevance.

But I’m a strong believer in archiving artifacts of marginalized communities. Jokes about binding from a quarter century ago might not be relevant to a young trans person’s experience today, but it might well be of historical interest to a young trans person who wants to know more about what trans folks of previous generations had navigated.

So I decided to put together a zine of those old comics, but with annotations to offer more context for those now-outdated topics. Explanations of deprecated terminology, cultural practices that have fallen by the wayside, and why I was mad at Norah Vincent in 2001.

You can now obtain a copy of this zine for your very own self! It’s available in my Ko-Fi shop, and, of course, at any show I’m tabling at. Hooray!

Cheers,

Dylan
