Curiosity in Focus

Freelance comic book editor Allison O'Toole joined Daniel for another episode of Curiosity in Focus! This time, to talk about her latest Kickstarter project - Wayward Sisters: An Anthology of Monstrous Women. From mermaids hunted for their meat to a ghastly beauty pageant, Wayward Sisters celebrates lady and non-binary monsters who are indelicate, impolite, and irrepressible. Inside you’ll find tales of undead motivational speakers, vengeance demons compelled to hunt family, and a gentle T. Rex who just wants to be loved. This collection of full-colour comics stars thirty-eight intersectional creators who identify as women or gender-nonconforming.
