Back in May, I posted an item ("Chris Cooper, Gay Pioneer") here about the gay African-American birder who stood up to racist bullying in Central Park. That experience has inspired Cooper, who worked as an editor for Marvel Comics in the 1990s and later created an online comic, Queer Nation, on his own, to return to that world.
Cooper's 10-page comic book, It's a Bird, is illustrated by Alitha E. Martinez, inked by Mark Morales and colored by Emilio Lopez. It's the first installment in "Represent!," a digital series from DC Comics that will showcase writers and artists from groups that are under-represented in the industry. The series is available free on participating digital platforms, including readdc, comiXology, Amazon Kindle, Apple Books and more.
