In Transition, 2023

In Transition is an all-ages autobiographical comic about Lee Onysko's transition - especially focused on top surgery. This 70+ page comic celebrates the joys of being trans and becoming who you want to be: from coming out, to dealing with drainage tubes, to changing your name. While it's primarily about their own journey, they share insights into transitioning that could be helpful to people looking to get top surgery, to the potential caretakers of someone recovering from top surgery, or to whoever wants to understand more about the process.Part of the Strange Deer Press comic & zine collective. strangedeer.comBack Cover Design by Jaime Dear
