New Indie Comic 'Periodical' Breaks Taboos, Fights Period Poverty
Periodical just launched, an ambitious new comic anthology tackling the often-taboo subject of menstruation head-on. This isn't just another indie title; it's a "no holds barred" collection promising hilarious, gorgeous, and genuinely informative stories. Editors Rachael Ball, Nuala C Murphy, and Rebecca K Jones brought together nine creators, including award-winning Jenny Robins and cover artist Rebecca Lightbody. Crucially, all profits directly support period poverty charities. After its debut at London's ARC Comics Festival, look for it at upcoming zine fairs. A vital, much-needed voice in the indie landscape.
