Tired AF: A Collection of Chronic Illness Comics

Published by Crucial Comix (2026)
Role: Editor

Tired AF collects personal chronic illness stories from sixteen cartoonists around the world into a 44-page zine anthology, with topics ranging from endometriosis and fibromyalgia to COVID and cancer.

I had the honor of editing this anthology. The idea came out of Chronic Illness Comic Club, a monthly workshop I hosted under Crucial Comix throughout 2025. We wanted to highlight comics inspired by the workshop, and were blown away by the submissions! The zine is available for free as a digital copy or for purchase as a physical copy at the link below.
