Legend of the Broken Hearts
"If writing is revolutionary, just being honest and talking about your life is revolutionary."
The comic is set in 1990's Seattle at the birth of the Riot Grrrl [gurl] movement. Seen as the third wave of feminism Riot Grrrl wanted to promote "girl power," within the punk music scene. The story begins in the aftermath of the inexplicable death of a popular Grrrl band, The Broken Hearts. Local area zine publishers, Bunnie and her musically repressed partner, Kat find themselves in the middle of a "Grrrl Power" revolution as they search for the answer to the mysterious tragedy. When all their leads seem exhausted they meet Birdie a former grrrl band drummer, through music she helps them unravel the mysterious deaths of the Broken Hearts. Broken Hearts is currently running as a monthly comic strip in the Tacoma based Wake Up 253 zine. To see more comic and developmental art click here.
