Sapphic Scify Comics

Sapphic Scify Comics is a culmination of three years’ worth of research, deep dives into Queer archives, late-night ennui musings on what the ‘perfect’ Lesbian action movie would be, a headfirst dive into the world of queer art, and a lifetime of reading western comics. Sapphic Scify Comics started as a mad fanatic love of Science Fiction stories that then collided with my burgeoning fascination with the 1950s Erotic Pulp Lesbian movement. These two topics began to take on a new shape like a proton shot through the Hadron Collider. The comic that you are now holding grew from a fun poster series I started as a way to stay occupied during quarantine into an ever-increasing obsession with the ideas of what makes a story Queer?
