Themes
Bayou Arcana is an attempt to increase gender equality in the comic industry. According to The Guardian, "The anthology is the product an experiment that brings together an all-female team of artists with an all-male team of writers and it is an illustration of how a new generation of female artists and readers is radically changing the face of comics."[3]
5 of the artists, and 3 of the writers will be attending the Kapow 2012 comic convention as members of an interview panel[4] which has been commented on by the press as another positive step for women in the comic industry.[5]
