Completely forgot I drew this character sheet for Red as part of Selfmadehero's Graphic Anthology Program. Red and their long, flowing hair and simple design was always fun to draw

The Dancing Plague by Gareth Brookes. SelfMadeHero, 2021. 9781910593981. http://www.powells.com/book/-9781910593981?partnerid=34778&p_bt
This medieval tale concerns an incident in 1518 in Strasbourg when there was an outbreak of uncontrollable dancing in the city. This is a minor spoiler but the narrator of the tale, Mary, can see the invisible demons causing these poor souls to dance. The Dancing Plague is her tale -- she was once her father's favorites though he later tried to silence her because of her religious visions. She escaped him to become a bride of Christ only to have to escape again to become a bride. Her tale is strange and her visions, as she worries for her own daughter, infected with the dancing plague, drive the book's narrative.
I picked up this graphic novel because I haven't read a comic created using embroidery since one of the Flight anthologies. Brookes used pyrography to create the rest of the drawings, making medieval life look drab, as opposed to the colorful demons Mary sees, which were embroidered. Such a beautiful book, and the story really pulled me through, too, which I hadn't expected.
You can see more of Brookes' work at https://www.gbrookes.com. I highly recommend checking out the Original Art Shop and Gallery to see examples of images from The Dancing Plague and other books.

Call Me Nathan - Catherine Castro and Quentin Zuttion Chart the Trans Journey from Multiple Perspectives
Call Me Nathan – Catherine Castro and Quentin Zuttion Chart the Trans Journey from Multiple Perspectives
Unlike many of the books we have covered here at Broken Frontier that deal with the trans experience Call Me Nathan is a semi-fictionalised account of that journey rather than a direct autobiographical one. However, this graphic novel (written by Catherine Castro and illustrated by Quentin Zuttion) is inspired by the life of “Lucas”, a family friend of Castro’s whose story she wanted to bring to…

Call Me Nathan by Catherine Castro & Quentin Zuttion. Translated by Evan McGorray. SelfMadeHero, 2022. 9781914224010. https://www.powells.com/book/-9781914224010?partnerid=34778&p_bt
When Nathan was a girl he hated dresses. He preferred playing sports with boys, and felt disgusted with his body when he hit puberty. He liked borrowing his brother's clothes and wanted to cut his hair. Luckily he had a girlfriend, Faustine, who saw right through him and told him he wasn't a lesbian, but that he was really a guy. She is the first person he asks to call him Nathan, but he's still a bit depressed and uncertain about who he is. He starts cutting himself. And then he finally tells his parents that he's a boy and starts to transition. (This all sounds heavy, but Nathan has friends throughout (though there are idiots around, too). And his story has moments of humor -- my favorite is when he says his counselor looks like the old man from Dragonball Z.)
After meeting a trans teenage, Lucas, at a party, Castro (a reporter) asked him and his parents if she could tell the story of his journey to become himself. This gave birth to Nathan's story, a slightly fictionalized version of the truth, that she wrote as a graphic novel with artist Zuttion. It reads like a well-edited, pointed graphic memoir (though I do wonder a bit about which parts she made up, which she mentions but doesn't specify in the introduction). The art and colors are wonderful, the panels are borderless, and the book left me feeling hopeful.
