Wayward Sisters
An Anthology of Monstrous Women
From mermaids hunted for their meat to a ghastly beauty pageant, Wayward Sisters celebrates lady and non-binary monsters who are indelicate, impolite, and irrepressible. Inside you’ll find tales of undead motivational speakers, vengeance demons compelled to hunt family, and a gentle T. Rex who just wants to be loved.
With a cover by Alise Gluškova (Abe Sapien, Letter 44) and a foreword from Faith Erin Hicks (The Nameless City, Avatar: The Last Airbender), we’re excited to bring you fresh comics to sink your teeth into!

"Equal parts whimsical, wistful, and weird, Wayward Sisters is the anthology by ladies for ladies that I’ve been waiting for. Toronto Comics has assembled one of the best femme teams in the biz for this one, and you can’t miss it."The Fangirl’s Guide to the Galaxy, Wonder Women
"At times quirky, surprising, moving and true, the tales in Wayward Sisters show us monsters that are all at once familiar and constant: monsters that we face every day, or see in the mirror, and the importance of embracing the monster in all of us…shadows, scales, and everything in between."The Realms of Ancient
"These are the sisters you need beside you - bold, unique, and unapologetic. The talent in Wayward Sisters is outstanding, there is a story in here for everyone, and the anthology will give you a new appreciation for the genre."Namesake
