Akire BubarThe Sequential Artists Workshop (SAW) has worked with young Iranian comics creators to put together a book of comics called _Young in Iran_. This project is about giving young artists living under an authoritarian regime a voice. The kickstarter campaign had successfully raised double their goal, but was recently canceled because, well, Iran. So they're restarting their fundraising efforts, this time from the SAW website. Please support this amazing project by preordering a copy so these young Iranian artists can be heard!
From the SAW website:
"NOTE: NO MONEY HAS OR WILL EVER CHANGE HANDS BETWEEN SAW AND ANY ENTITIES IN IRAN, so long as international sanctions are in effect."
SAW has always been committed to supporting marginalized voices, and this is no different. The book is finished - it just needs to be printed and shipped to you. Order yours now. Thanks for reading, and please share!

God I Feel Like I’m Choking: Relisting Young In Iran — Sequential Artists Workshop
The facts: Kickstarter suspended our campaign for Young in Iran , on Feb 18, 2026, a few days before it’s completion, and after it was more than 200% funded. We respect their decision. You can order here, now.
