Samantha Benc 🐟 (meet me on bluesky)

Hi #VisibleWomen!! I’m Sam, a cartoonist whose work primarily deals with ethics through a scifi & environmentalist lens through unexpected perspectives. I’m working on my GN, Last Ship to Mars! 🌿samanthabenc.com 🌿 patreon.com/Samanthabenc 🌿rep: @draper_claire

I often hear people bemoaning that a piece of media "couldn't get made today" when actually, very similar things ARE being made today and just aren't being treated with the same nostalgic reverence.

Well anyway, like everyone I'm mostly going to be over on Bluesky these days so please find me over there! Love seeing all the new faces making the switch!

ten years as an antiquarian, hearing nothing but "my relative kept these untouched in a box their whole life but they died, and I don't want this stuff" has radicalized me. annotate the books. use the china. wear the clothes until they wear out. your life should not be a museum

wasn’t there a big list of agents who rep comics floating around out there? also if you or your agent want to rep some killer queer YA horror graphic novels, my dms are open and my email is in my bio a sample page from each of the two books for which I’m seeking rep:

Groups of things.

Obsessed with this photo series called "From Window" by Masahisa Fukase. He took photos of his wife from their apartment window almost everyday as she left 🥹

I cant believe I'm a whole, grown adult and I never read Nabokov until now and now I'm going through his works and i feel like I've been reading him since I was born. His words obliterate time
