Olivia also does quite a lot of really exciting small-press or self-published adult work, including a series called Darlin’, which is historical fiction, also about werewolves in the American West in the 1800s. That’s a much darker and more violent type of story, because it’s an adult storytelling. It touches on a number of complicated issues around American history and colonization, and ecological destruction, and things like that, but done with just breathtaking visual chops, character work, and narrative storytelling ability. Hanna-Pirita Lehkonen shares, “When I was a teenager I really wished to see more people like myself. I’m from a tiny little village in the Finnish countryside and that’s why I didn’t see other LGBTQ people at all. Being able to make comics with that representation gives me power. I know there’s other people who live in communities where they don’t see LGBTQ people but maybe they can feel better when they read my comics about people like them! And even better, comics made by people like them!” Matt Doyle shares, “It’s a good feeling knowing that I can bring another perspective into the comic book world that hasn’t always been heavily represented. When I was a kid, I identified with comics about outsiders and anti-heroes that didn’t fit in. It has always been a goal of mine to create stories that give voices to the voiceless.”
