“The extraordinary thing about comic books and graphic novels is that they cannot exist without the art. If my words disappeared tomorrow, well, whatever. This is a visual medium in which the eye and the mind work together to bear witness to story, to lives.” MindArtBookEyeTogetherNovelTomorrowExtraordinaryWitnessComicWorking TogetherComic BookGraphic Author:Marjorie M.

“I've seen a tremendous shift especially in indie comics. I see all these young women who are out there creating. They're making these great web comics. Their graphic novels are getting published. They're making all this wonderful art. They're powerful. There's this vital energy about it that's really, really beautiful that years ago I knew existed but I didn't see so clearly.” ArtBeautifulEnergyPowerfulNovelWonderfulYoung WomenGraphicReally Beautiful Author:Marjorie M.

“I have a great deal of hope. I think that change is here, it's happening. But I know that if we think it's just going to happen on its own, that's not the way it works. We need people to keep talking about women of color writing comics and living the charge. Not just talking but doing. Making art, putting it out there.” PeopleThinkingWritingArt Author:Marjorie M.

“The important thing about doing art and writing is that we are using our voices and using them really, really loudly. And to any girls or young women who want to write comics, I tell them, "You have to use your voice. You have to take up space." We have to fight to be heard. No one else is going to fight for us.” WritingArtImportantGirlFightingYoung Women Author:Marjorie M. Liu
