 | We're pleased to share some amazing work from a member of our community, local comic illustrator buttercup!
UM is a magical girl comic about Eugenée, a Black, nonbinary, aspiring
birth-worker who finds themself mixed up in a millennia-old conflict between
the powers that be and a faction of cosmic, shamanic midwives.
UM is an ongoing webcomic, updated most Saturdays at
https://um.the-comic.org. buttercup mixes mysticism, superhero tropes, and
slice-of-life drama into a compelling narrative. With UM, buttercup seeks to
craft a text with the essence of the storied history of resistance within the
African Diaspora against global imperialism using imaginative play and
science-fantasy as a liberation praxis, and a foundation for realizing Black
continuity into the distant future. You can support this publication by contributing to their crowdfund! | |
