Kazimir Lee ′16 wins a LAMBDA Award

Miles and Honesty in SCFSX won LGBTQ Erotica category at the LAMBDA Awards. This is a fantastic win as it isn’t even a “comics-only” category. Drawn by Kazimir Lee ′16 and written by Blue Delliquanti, Miles and Honesty in SCFSX is an adults-only sci-fi. The first run of print books is sold out, but keep an eye on Delliquanti’s shop for the next batch. If you just can’t wait, you can still buy the PDF version on Gumroad. Congrats to Kazimir on a fantastic award for a fantastic book.

Also at the LAMBDA Awards, On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden ′16 (First Second) was nominated for Best LGBTQ Graphic Novel. This is another LGBTQ sci-fi from a graduate in the same year.
