The Out Side: Trans & Nonbinary Comics

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."Author: The KaoPublisher: Andrews McMeel PublishingPublished: 09/26/2023Pages: 176Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.90lbsSize: 8.70h x 6.20w x 0.70dISBN: 9781524880125Review Citation(s): Booklist 07/01/2023 pg. 40Library Journal 07/14/2023 pg. 1About the AuthorContributing authors include: Kaz FantoneCoco OuwerkerkJulie FiveashCyrusMin ChristensenAshiDaToonieVixtopherWren ChaversMatteo Montero-MurilloMel Valentine VargasKyla AikoNasr Bin SafwanDana SimpsonLae Louie SchäferVeronica JaneDashiAidyn HuynhAl AcevedoWey SongSamLiam CoballesLake FamaLucas JamesSage CoffeyZhenMaddie TacobusJam AdenTara Madison Avery & Mike SullivanJulia Kaye
