Band of Bards is extremely proud to be working with this absolute killer line up of comics creators. These creators comprise a team that truly advances our core mission of addressing Representation, Inclusion, and Diversity in comics. We all hang our hats on making incredible comics, but at the end of the day knowing that we are advancing our mission is what warms our hearts the most.
We encourage everyone to check out each creator. Follow their work, check out what they’re working on, and support them. These creators are the heart and soul of FROM THE STATIC. Without them this would never get off the ground. Details of each story will be announced in future BardBlogs as we approach the crowdfunding phase this summer.
