Hi, my name is Luisa Colón Thayer and I'm the creator/founder of I, COMIC! I, COMIC is a unique paperback book that I designed specifically for incarcerated citizens and other justice-impacted individuals.

I, COMIC features tutorials by comic industry giants; original art by amazing artists including those formerly and currently incarcerated; comic book history; interviews; and blank and paneled pages.

Comic books encourage reading and foster literacy; literacy and art programs reduce recidivism and help build mastery.

By combining comics, art, literacy, tutorials, and emotional regulation skills all in one book designed for individual ownership, COMIC is an incredibly effective and simple tool for incarcerated and other justice-impacted individuals.

Thanks to collaborations with incredible organizations all over the U.S., as well as a partnership with the National Sheriffs Association's I.G.N.I.T.E. program, I, COMIC in is correctional facilities in multiple states including Alabama, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.

I'm raising funds for a 250-copy print run of I, COMIC specifically for use in New York State correctional facilities. Will you help?
