Chainmail Bikini: The Anthology of Women Gamers

Chainmail Bikini is an anthology of comics by women and nonbinary people about gaming! 40 artists and writers have contributed comics about the games they're passionate about--from video games to tabletop role-playing to collectible card games. The comics in Chainmail Bikini explore the real-life impact of entering a fantasy world, how games can connect us with each other and teach us about ourselves. Alliances are forged, dice get rolled, and dragons get slain! Chainmail Bikini showcases non-cis-male artists expressing their viewpoints as players, makers, and critics of games.

Chainmail Bikini is edited by Hazel Newlevant and features a cover illustration by Hellen Jo and comics from exciting cartoonists including Molly Ostertag, Carey Pietsch, Yao Xiao, Mia Schwartz, Remy Boydell, Sarah Winifred Searle, MK Reed, and Sophie Yanow.
