Join the kids back at the unusual – and awesome – Miss Quinzella’s Camp For Hardcore Lady Types in LUMBERJANES VOL. 2, where there’s more madness and feminism to be found!
Mega-hit comic writer Brian K. Vaughan brings us PAPER GIRLS VOL. 1, the first volume in a new feminist sci-fi whirlwind set in the technicolour world of the 1980s.
