New Comic – Conversations with LGBTQ+ Elders

StevenLeave a comment

Conversations with LGBTQ+ Elders is a comic about activism and protest as you get older. It tells the story of Will and Anthony, two older gay men as they get ready to attend a protest. The story features interviews with people who know the couple and we learn how they maintain their need to stand up and be recognised.

Conversations with LGBTQ+ Elders takes an experimental and non-linear look at comic book storytelling. The story is an intimate and personal one that shows the need for love and companionship. We see two people who have stuck together throughout their lives and overcome many problems. This inspires their activism and we see this passion within the pages of the comic.

Conversation with LGBTQ+ Elders is 32 pages long and in full colour. You can buy the comic here.

Conversations With My Imaginary Friends – even more pages from my new comic

StevenLeave a comment

Conversations With My Imaginary Friends is a personal comic book that explores voice hearing and psychosis in an intimate and personal method. The story follows the comic book creator as they speak with the voices in their head and write down what they say. We see how important engaging with mental health is and how this can build strength and confidence. Each voice gives a letter to the protagonist and the reader gets to experience the voices in a unique and visual way.
Other than looking at the negative and cliched focus of voice hearing and schizophrenia ‘Conversations With My Imaginary Friends‘ shows how common, powerful and interesting this behaviour can be.

The comic comes with 4 extra letters that are inserted into the comic. These pages can be taken out and read. A mini-zine from one of the characters is also given. These extras give an intimate and personal connection to the reader and fully expresses the closeness and power of the words that people hear in their heads.

Awkward Silence – New Comic

StevenLeave a comment

Awkward Silence is a personal comic book that looks at quietness and solitude in a loud world. The story follows the creator as they look at how loudness and quietness has affected them and changed how they communicate with other people and their environment. Being mute and not being able to speak has many implications and these are delicately presented in this intimate and experimental comic book memoir.

Awkward Silence is personal and expressive and will connect with readers who love zines, comics and outsider art.
Each copy is unique. The cover features hand stitching, where each individual copy has been sewn and hand bound.

Awkward Silence will appeal to people who like zines, perzines, queer zines and comics, graphic memoirs and graphic medicine comics.

  • 32 pages
  • Black and white (mostly)
  • Hand bound and stapled
  • Made with love and honesty.

StevenLeave a comment

page black and white comic book zine + a cat badge 38mm (1.5inches)

The Zine + Badge can be bought here.

A large destructive cat is hurtling towards planet earth. If it hits, the cat will surely destroy the planet and all the people who live on it.

NeuroQueer Cat Apocalypse is a comic with a difference. You are asked 10 questions throughout the zine. You need to answer the questions from an autistic and queer perspective in order to survive. Answer correctly the planet is saved. Answer incorrectly and we all die.

NeuroQueer Cat Apocalypse combines humour, comic books and provocative questions to ask questions on autistic identity and the place of the autistic person in society. Each page features illustration and text, presenting an autistic and perspective on life.

The zine comes with a badge of a cat. The badge is in colour and zine is in black and white.

Designed and hand made by Steven Fraser.

Note this zine is not for kids.
