Rats of Ironwood. Coming Spring/Summer

I might print the first chapter as a limited edition if people are interested in getting their hands on the first chapter early. Let me know in the comments if that’s something you’d be interested in.

I sadly don’t have time for Inktober this year once again. But I’ll post some old favs from past years throughout the month.

These are from 2019. #inktober

Our Executive Director @librarylandia.bsky.social spoke with CBC about the Alberta government's censorship of comic books in schools.

Their attack on diverse voices is a continuation of how governments have historically exploited "moral panics" to threaten human rights. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Alberta has banned graphic books before. In the 1950s, 'salacious' comics were the target | CBC News
In 1954, the province established the Advisory Board on Objectionable Publications to investigate "crime comics" that supposedly inspired undesirable behaviour in kids.
