Ssalefish Comics, in the Silas Creek Crossing shopping center, has commissioned an exclusive cover for “Alters” No. 1, a new series from AfterShock Comics that focuses on Chalice, a transgender superheroine. The cover makes fun of HB2 by depicting Chalice holding up a unisex symbol to replace the sign on a bathroom door.
A provision of HB2, signed into law earlier this year, requires people to use restrooms that match the gender listed on their birth certificates.
“I wanted the cover to take a jab at HB2, but I didn’t want anything over-the-top,” said Bret Parks, the owner of Ssalefish. “I thought this was a direct and effective way to comment on HB2, but at the same time not alienating a comic book fan who just wants to read the comic.”
This cover is unique to Ssalefish, but the interior contents of the comic are the same nationwide, and the story itself does not involve HB2. The interior of the comic is written by Paul Jenkins, a British comic writer, and illustrated by Leila Leiz.

Why are we reporting on something outrageous done by an almost NON entity.
We are supposed to get outrage now at even the SMALLEST companies?
I guess this was posted for the humor and silliness, cause we could post outrageous things from bottom of the line companies day and night.
we should stick to the ones that actually matter.
but for laughs, this was good
Propaganda does not sell. You have to have a story line. You need characters people identify with. You need an objective that makes the reader feel it is important and worthwhile. This comic will be another obscure failure in a competitive marketplace. In two years only the nerdiest nerd will have any knowledge about it.
And when both copies are sold (one to his mother, one to a guy who ran out of toilet paper), he will brag that his first edition was a roaring — or lisping — sucksess.
Remind me NOT to go there...
