Exclusive: A Wave Blue World launches Crisis on Our Only Earth for World Environmental Health Day

Posted on by

On September 26th, the world comes together to observe World Environmental Health Day. The environment is at even greater risk today as the most basic guardrails are being stripped away. Executive orders as well as elevated individuals are assaulting the little gains that have been made over the years and attacking communities negatively impacted by pollution and thus attacking their health and well-being. Editors Joe Corallo and Molly Jackson have partnered with A Wave Blue World to bring a new vision of our future in a benefit anthology for environmental causes, Crisis on Our Only Earth.  

World Environmental Health Day takes place on September 26 and declared by the International Federation of Environmental Health. This year’s theme is “Clean Air, Healthy People.” The goal is to help promote awareness and action on the impact of clean air on public health, and addressing air pollution, climate change, and respiratory diseases. The first yearly event was held in 2011 to raise awareness about the connection between environmental quality and human health.

Crisis on Our Only Earth is a graphic novel anthology that features a mix of rising stars and seasoned pros in the comic book industry telling stories about important environmentalists, the origins of Earth Day, small steps we can take to make our world a better place, as well as genre stories incorporating themes of activism.

A Wave Blue World has pledged to make a donation to the Natural Resources Defense Council matching the net proceeds of the sales of the anthology. NRDC is an international organization promoting environmental advocacy through science, litigation, and green business practices.

Contributors include Danny Lore, Rio Burton, Bernardo Brice, Sabs Cooper, Ashlynn Barker, Adam McGovern, Chase Bluestone, Edwin Lopez, Lane Lloyd, Martha Thomases, Kate Zimmerman, David Pepose, Chris Shehan, Taylor Esposito, Trina Robbins, Fabian Lelay, Gab Contreras, Peter Carlsson, Mindy Newell, John K Snyder III, Bernardo Brice, Beth Rimmels, Michiums, Devin Grayson, Magda Price, Corinna Bechko, Gabriel Hardman, Barbara Randall Kesel, Diana Leto, Catrina Brighton, Regine Sawyer, Rodney Sanon, Molly Jackson, Christie Shinn, Annie Nocenti, Ameziane, Sina Grace, Rus Wooton, Alexander Lu, Sweeney Boo, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, Juan Ponce, Haley Boros, Keith Frady, Claudia Aguire, Catherine Ducket, Stuart Moore, Mark Wheatley, Carol Wheatley, Joe Corallo, Eric Palicki, Emily Pearson, and Matthew Kaplowitz.

Publishers Tyler and Wendy Chin-Tanner of A Wave Blue World know how important this mission is, and with their history of publishing critically-acclaimed anthologies, including Young Men in Love and Becoming Who We Are, make them the perfect home and advocates for Crisis on Our Only Earth.

The anthology will be released first digitally on September 26th as a pdf download which can be purchased on AWBW.com. Additionally, it can be purchased or read through subscription service on A Wave Blue World’s digital partners including Amazon Kindle, GlobalComix, and ComicsPlus on LibraryPass.

A limited print edition is expected sometime in 2026.  You can support NRDC and their mission directly by visiting their website at nrdc.org.

Recognized #1 is a good introduction to LGBTQ+ history

Posted on by
Recognized #1

Recognized is an anthology series that celebrates LGBTQ+ heroes like Alain Locke, Sylvia Rivera, Bayard Rustin, and Larry Kramer. Originally a team-up between the New York City Department of Education and Good Trouble Productions, it delves into their impactful legacies, featuring stories by a fantastic lineup of comic creators. It’s a solid comic to begin to dive into the history of the movement while also providing answers as to where to go to next to learn more.

The use of comics as a way to teach is an ever growing movement with so much potential. The concept of comics being used to cover history or help individuals learn concepts goes back decades but it’s recently where its become more accepted. Good Trouble Productions is one of the comic publishers leading the movement and they have teamed up with the NYC Department of Education for a series of comics to teach history and civics.

Recognized #1 is a comics anthology that serves as a solid introduction to four individuals in the LGBTQ+ community who helped make history in numerous ways. Each story focuses on students being transported in some way to learn and discover more. Alain Locke, Sylvia Rivera, Bayard Rustin, and Larry Kramer are the focus of this first issue taking use through the 1900s and delivering the basics as to what their role in history was.

Where Recognized shines is it gives a truth to their experiences warts and all. Some are recognized today as leaders for the LGBTQ+ movement but during their time, they were shunned by the community. It’s an interesting call out in two of the four stories showing an unvarnished truth that even within noble movements, there was discrimination and bigotry.

Recognized is focused on being an introduction. The writers deftly focus on the key points and key information about each moment in history giving the basics and packing a lot in to each segment. The art is accessible and even with varied artists, the look of each works together. There’s no jarring switching of style and they overall work together to create a smooth reading experience. Each chapter as well is broken up by beautiful artwork that’d each be fantastic as posters.

Recognized #1 takes us through about 60 years of LGBTQ+ history, from the Harlem Renaissance to the AIDS movement. Each is focused on an individual that many might not know about, but know about what they created or who they themselves helped. It’s a fantastic introduction to individuals who are just getting the recognition they deserve and acts as a fantastic guide to learn even more about them all.
