Tender-Hearted is a collection of autobio comics, charting my journey from baby-queer discovering I liked girls and comics, through a harrowing abusive relationship, and into the self-actualized queer adult I am today.
Contains the comics “Finding Place,” “Apt #105 381 Troutman Street,” “Enough,” and “Bi-Furious,” with additional sketches and illustrations.
CW for depictions of self-harm and emotional abuse.
