Here and now is our chance to make things right, people! Remember all those comics presses you ‘respected’ but never supported? Remember all those indie comics blogs you read obsessively back in ’08, for cover sketch thumbnails, long-winded page size and color sep salons,  just to go and NOT buy the damned anthology because the price was greater than (or equal to) a bottle of bum wine? Oh and remember  how queer and minority voices never get repped fully in alt comics anyway?!???!

Well now is the time where we support voices marginalized in even the most robust of indie markets: queer comic auteurs! And then we get a beautiful perfectbound comics anthology from Sparkplug Books! These things can actually happen simultaneously, if you act now, and head on over to the Kickstarter page for “Gay Genius,” a new collection edited by Annie Murphy and featuring a cornucopia of cutting-edge creators (including Mildred Pierce Issue 4 cover artist Edie Fake…ya’ll should see the sketches, its gonna be bananzas!!) This thing is  damn. near. published.–all they need is a few supporters, and for $25, you get your own copy of the 120-page book. Do it!! Do it now!!

Also, check out RANDY, a brand new publication from Capricious Publishing which also features Edie Fake’s awesome work!
