The multiple-chapter monthly meet-up group LDComics have announced the longlist for their 2021 prize for a graphic-novel-in-progress by artists who identify as female or non-binary. As is always the case with lists like these there are names both familiar and unfamiliar to us at BF but we look forward to investigating the work of all the longlisted creators. The full list is below with the shortlist due to be announced at the next LDComics online meet-up on October 18th (you can book a place for that here).
