“On behalf of my co-curators Brian and Kristy Miller of Hi-Fi Colour Design, I’m honored to bring an crucial book like FEMME MAGNIFIQUE to the masses,” said editor/co-curator Shelly Bond. “Thanks to IDW for agreeing to release a softcover edition through BLACK CROWN. incredible thanks to over 100 artists and writers, and the thousands of Kickstarter backers from around the world, who made the original hardcover possible. In an age when lots of of our civil liberties are in jeopardy, I hope this anthology will resonate and inspire. Here’s to 50 amazing women — and future legends — in pop, politics, art and scence who crack ceilings in the name of equality.”
