Dylan Lewis' brilliant series captures the story of six teenagers, each of them carrying personal differences and anguish that causes them to be 'misfits' in the eyes of others. They find each other on a trip to the Australian Outback and share adventure, danger and cameraderie. In each of the three books, they learn more about themselves and each other and the discovery of their own worth and unique value. The six 'misfits' enjoy great adventure, danger, risk and ultimate success as they battle their own fears and the forces of ignorance and stupidity that we all face at times. If Enid Blyton had been LGBT aware and embraced danger as much as adventure, she would have written this series.

Shortlisted Finalist for the 2023 Eisner Award for Best Academic/Scholarly Work American comics from the start have reflected the white supremacist culture out of which they arose. Superheroes and comic books in general are products of whiteness, and both signal and hide its presence. Even when comics creators and publishers sought to advance an antiracist agenda, their attempts were often undermined by a lack of awareness of their own whiteness and the ideological baggage that goes along with it. Even the most celebrated figures of the industry, such as Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Jack Jackson, William Gaines, Stan Lee, Robert Crumb, Will Eisner, and Frank Miller, have not been able to distance themselves from the problematic racism embedded in their narratives despite their intentions or explanations. Bandits, Misfits, and Superheroes: Whiteness and Its Borderlands in American Comics and Graphic Novels provides a sober assessment of these creators and their role in perpetuating racism throughout the history of comics. Josef Benson and Doug Singsen identify how whiteness has been defined, transformed, and occasionally undermined over the course of eighty years in comics and in many genres, including westerns, horror, crime, funny animal, underground comix, autobiography, literary fiction, and historical fiction. This exciting and groundbreaking book assesses industry giants, highlights some of the most important episodes in American comic book history, and demonstrates how they relate to one another and form a larger pattern, in unexpected and surprising ways.

Everyone here has a chip on their shoulders, and I'm no different. Mine's one of the biggest. That's why they call me Asia because I have one as large as a continent.
