Sharp Wit & The Company of Women

Edited By Michele Abounader. Published by A Wave Blue World. 

Softcover, 160 pages, Colour, 2024. 

From the team that brought you The Color of Always, comes a comic anthology about strong women with weapons across a wide spectrum of genres, created by and for LGBTQIA+ creators and audiences.

There's something about a hand-wielded weapon that invigorates the imagination. From the depths of antiquity, female heroes captivated the minds of those reading and listening. Women were leaders and keepers of wisdom. In many cultures, they were warriors of strength, will and acumen. In a time where the rights and autonomy of all women are threatened, this legacy must be reclaimed.

It is time for women to be represented for the heroes & champions they are.

It is time to dispel notions that any gender is lesser than another.

It is time for more stories.

Featuring Jadzia Axelrod, Justin Richards, Skylar Patridge, Liana Kangas, Eva Cabrera, and more
