pickComics written & drawn by Indigenous artists. Traditional tales & original stories with characters and themes from those tales. Many deal with modern problems like suicide, missing girls, and environmental devastation. https://cannonballread.com/2021/07/moonshot-the-indigenous-comics-collection-vol...
Spotted these on my boyfriend's coffee table. They look like perfect reads for #IndigenousPeoplesDay and today's #riotgrams prompt. Have any of you #comics fans read these?
pickWe in Canada have done some disgusting things to indigenous communities in our short 150 years. This is a fantastic way to save and spread parts of indigenous history/culture. Many indigenous communities here suffer from low literacy rates (partially caused by the residential schools) which makes the idea of presenting these stories in art an even better idea. Stunningly beautiful gorgeous artwork. Can't wait for vol. 2
Should probably read this since I ordered volume two in through my library already lol
pickAlternative History Comics has done a fantastic job editing together a rather strong collection of stories from various indigenous creators. While some are definitely stronger than others, every piece had something unique and interesting to share.
My favourite entry was the impactful and beautiful Vision Quest: Echo by David Mack and I love Stephen Glaude's cover image Northern Crow. The other pieces are all worth your time as well.
My SO wanted to go grocery shopping while I was in the middle of my last sprint so I tried to read in the vehicle but got pretty car sick. Oh well. I'm so close to the end that I might as well finish it now. :p

One more sprint to go! And I'm halfway through this anthology. It's a nice collection of talent.

Second sprint done. Two more to go. I found this story interesting and it's illustrations haunting, but I'd argue that bares no resemblance to a comic.

First sprint don. Here's where I'm at. Gorgeous work by David Mack. Absolutely in love with it.

Going to do a few #ReadingSprints this afternoon. Every 15 minutes I'll take a picture of my progress so far :)

Gorgeous books and lovely bookmarks! My copies of these GNs just arrived and I can't wait to savor them. Comic anthologies with stories by indigenous creators. This is one of the reasons I still love kickstarter- it helps bring more voices to the table.
The title page of the story by Richard Van Camp (Tlicho). It's about a ceremony honouring both ancestors and caribou spirits called 'Night of the Spirits' Return', which coincides with Halloween. #IndigenousLit #DiverseComics #WeNeedDiverseBooks #Halloween
More beautiful art in this Indigenous comics collection! Also by Cree artist Stephen Gladue, who also did the cover for the book. #DiverseComics
Thought I would capture my beautiful flowering hibiscus and continue to rave about this collection of comics by Indigenous writers and artists. Amazing cover art done by Cree artist Stephen Gladue. #DiverseComics
Incredible collection so far! There have been stories about where the stars and constellations come from and about a deaf storyteller. Cover is a painting by Cree artist stephen Gladue. #IndigenousLit #Comics
