HEARTWOOD: Non-binary Tales of Sylvan Fantasy is the first ever non-binary comics anthology, made entirely by cartoonists who identify as a non-binary gender!
Across time and cultures, humanity has spun tales about the forest: tales of caution, adventure, rites of passage, and discovery. Some of those stories persist as the folklore and fairy tales that delight our imaginations today, and the forest remains a symbol for facing the unknown and emerging transformed.
This anthology is for everyone who’s walked through the undergrowth, in the silence of nature, and longed for an adventure of their own to unfold. These stories of modern-day sylvan fantasy showcase some of the best non-binary cartoonists of our day, guiding characters like us into the woods and back again.

I absolutely loved this one of a kind fantasy anthology featuring EXCLUSIVELY nonbinary/ genderqueer protagonists by EXCLUSIVELY nonbinary/genderqueer authors. Made me tear up in some places. I truly enjoyed reading every story even if I connected with some more than others. Some personal favorites were: Breathe (by Brian Wolf) (I don't like fireworks wither Shirley!!), Finding Alex (by Joamette Gil and Corey Ranson), Love Letters (by Rii Abrego), and The Lungs of Jeju (by Sunmi) but I really loved them all.
