Hello Everyone,
CORPUS: A Comic Anthology of Bodily Ailments is a collection of stories about physical illness, mental illness, and medical experiences. Before I announce the creators, I want to take a moment to thank everyone who submitted, retweeted, spread the word, or even took a second to think about this project. I received nearly 200 submissions, all of which were incredible, and the selection process was practically impossible. To sift through your moving stories and visions and not chose them all was a Herculean task, and I want you to know I admire you, for your courage, your talent, and for taking a chance on CORPUS. For everyone who was not selected, know it’s not because your story or perspective is invalid, its purely because of space.
The sheer number of you told me that this is so much bigger than this one book. We are at the very beginning of our journey here at CORPUS, and I hope that we receive enough support to tell the industry that this is content we want to see. With your help, I want to tell the world, sickness is universal, and access to healthcare should be the same. I want to tell the world that sick people like me are human and deserving of so much more. Now more than ever, we need these stories.
