This is just a quick blurb, to link an article that has already said what I would like to about body positivity in comics.

If you caught my post about Faith the other day, you’ll know she’s a fat (and I mean that positively) girl getting her own comic where she is not a punchline nor an ad for acceptance-through-weight-loss.

In poking around the internet like one does, I found an article on Comic Book Resources by Casey Gilly that lists a few more body positive mainstream comics, for those who might be interested.

Here’s the article and here are some of the selections from it:

Amie from “Power Up” (BOOM! Studios)

by Kate Leth and Matt Cummings

—

Violet and Dee from “Rat Queens” (Image Comics)
by Kurtis Wiebe and Tess Fowler

(shipped and on its way to me, to be read asap)

—

Penny Rolle from “Bitch Planet” (Image Comics)
by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine De Landro

(a new purchase of mine that I am loving beyond words)

Other notable mentions:
“This One Summer” by Mariko and Jillian Tamaki (First Second); “Zodiac Starforce” by Kevin Panetta and Paulina Ganucheau (Dark Horse Comics); “Jem and the Holograms” by Kelly Thompson and Sophie Campbell (IDW Publishing); and “Steven Universe” created by Rebecca Sugar (Cartoon Network, comic published by BOOM!
