Matt Doyle shares, “It’s a good feeling knowing that I can bring another perspective into the comic book world that hasn’t always been heavily represented. When I was a kid, I identified with comics about outsiders and anti-heroes that didn’t fit in.

This is the story of their rivalry… and attraction. Corinth, a young bi woman, was just trying to clean up the beach. She never expected to meet a mermaid and become friends.

Of note, the characters are all transgender or genderqueer. A fantasy prohibition age heist comic with a bi-gender char and super queer cast!
