Puerto Rico Strong is a comics anthology that explores
what it means to be Puerto Rican and the diversity that exists within that
concept, from today's most exciting Puerto Rican comics creators. All profits
will go to towards disaster relief and recovery programs to support Puerto
Rico.
Despite being a US territory, Puerto Rico is often
thought of as a foreign land, if it's even a thought in the mind of the average
American at all. Its people exist in all corners of America; some of them have
parents who immigrated from the home island, others are a part of families that
have been on the mainland for generations. Then there are those who have come to
the states in search of a dream but struggle to integrate into an unfamiliar
culture, while there are those who have lived in the United States all of their
lives but still have the same struggle because of the color of their skin or
their sexual identity. These stories follow individuals from diverse walks of
life but are all part of the culture that is Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico Strong features art and writing by Rosa
Colon, Vita Ayala, Naomi Franquiz, Javier Cruz Winnik, Sabrina Cintron, Ronnie
Garcia, Fabian Nicieza, Joamette Gil, and many more!
