146 Days of Picket Signs & Stress &… Comics?
That’s right! A gang of striking writers made a comic book for you during The Great WGA Strike of 2023 and it’s AWESOME! Brought to you by the mad scientists behind the CALEXIT comic, GENERAL STRIKE is a set of badass genre stories about FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT!
“But isn’t the strike over??”
We’re launching on the heels of a major victory for the WGA with this tentative deal… and, for that, THIS COMIC IS A CELEBRATION!
BUT the work’s not done! SAG is still on strike! The creative community is still struggling! People are still losing their homes! And the Strike Funds need to be ready because The Animation Guild, IATSE, and The Teamsters may need help next!
So please join us in CELEBRATING VICTORY WHILE SUPPORTING THE NEXT WAVES!
GENERAL STRIKE: Comics written by Striking WGA Writers to support the community!
GENERAL STRIKE presents Calexit and other tales of Fighting The Good Fight is a 48-page one-shot comics anthology dedicated to the struggle for economic equality.
All the writers are WGA writers currently on strike and we’ll use any profits to match the writing fees with contributions to the Entertainment Community Fund, which supports not just striking writers and actors but also all the crew and workers who are impacted by the strikes and need help!
