100 Butches, Volume 1

100 Butches, Volume I
Elisha Lim

“From Elisha Lim’s fi nely-drawn-and-written portraits, a picture begins to emerge of the elusive and indefi nable quality of butchness itself.” —Alison Bechdel, author of Dykes to Watch For and Fun Home

Up-and-coming queer graphic novelist and Alison Bechdel protégée Elisha Lim presents fi fty portraits—some lovers, some friends, some relatives, others strangers and missed connections—from around the world in this celebration of butch sexuality. Fully illustrated in color throughout, these fifty illustrations and accompanying mini-memoirs of the artist’s encounters with her subjects brings together a diverse array of queers whose lives and work have had a special impact on the author’s life. 100 Butches launches the new Sister Spit series that will be curated by Michelle Tea.

Elisha Lim’s comics have run in Diva Magazine, LOTL Australia, and the Canadian queer magazines NMP and Xtra! She was Curve’s “Artist in Residence” and named one of afterellen.com’s “Queer Women To Watch.”
