Hey all, the CDB Crew is back with a regular episode after our short break. For this special episode, Darci chose the recently released, first volume of Verse by Sam Beck, published by Vault Comics on the Wonderbound imprint. If you are familiar with Beck's previous works, it will not come as a surprise about how great a read this is and how gorgeous it looks. We hope that we can convince you to pick up this under-the-radar masterpiece. That's not all that makes this episode special. We are introducing a new format all-together: we are adding in a new, ongoing segment, DIY Corner- where we will discuss comics that are being self-published, self-released online, and/or are being Crowd-Funded, while cutting back on our discussions and news segments. Once again, a big purpose of this podcast is to help give notice to comics that might not necessarily get a lot of press or discussion on comic book social media. For the inaugural DIY Corner, we talk about Dirruti: Shadow of the People, Hans Vogel is Dead, The Uncontrollable Wreck-Lass!, and Kardiakía: Stories of Representation: Queer Love and Fat Bodies. We also talk about Dune: A Whisper of Caladan Seas #1 by Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson, Jakub Rebelka, and Ed Dukeshire (BOOM); The Night Mother by Melanie Gillman; and A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance #1 by Rick Remender, André Lima Araújo, Chris O'Halloran, and Rus Wooton (Image) The Night Mother can be found here: https://melgillman.tumblr.com/post/664267309279576064/the-night-mother DIY Corner: Dirruti: Shadow of the People: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/autonomouscollective/durruti-shadow-of-the-people Hans Vogel is Dead: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/castironbooks/hans-vogel-is-dead-volume-i The Uncontrollable Wreck-Lass!: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/amoralstingray5/the-uncontrollable-wreck-lass?ref=profile_saved_projects_live Kardiakía Stories of Representation: Queer Love and Fat Bodies: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ehmautoproduzioni/kardiakia?ref=discovery_category Comics Deserve Better is a weekly podcast hosted by Brian, Carrie and Darci which covers the world of Independent Comics.

Part 2 of this classic episode from 2017: my guests Melanie Gillman and Dylan Edwards discuss LGBTQIA issues in comics!

Happy New Year! Here’s a classic episode: one of the first podcasts I recorded, where I learned more about LGBTQ issues from some of my friends in comics, who are a part of that demographic.  My guests here are Melanie Gillman (an accomplished comics writer & artist who has drawn Care Bears and written the Steven Universe comic, and was a cool professor long before me) and Dylan Edwards (another gifted comics writer and artist, who favors creating books with puns, like Politically InQueer-rect).

"[Comics are] as close as you can get to looking through another person's eyes," cartoonist Melanie Gillman told us. Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast. Have questions? Find us on Twitter @1A.
