Passenger is a new voyeuristic painted comic that
follows the messy love triangle between three queers attempting to
connect with each other while making modern art, fighting
existential dread, and pursuing pleasure. It’s “Rear Window” but
you’re watching hookups and giant filthy paintings out your window
instead of murder.
This first issue of Passenger follows a trans
abstract painter who moonlights as an underwater dancer, her
antisocial neighbor who spies on her obsessively and the flirty
polyamorous transmasc hitting on both of them. It’s the adult,
artsy, surrealist, queer niche comic you’ve been looking for.
Jam is starting a new micro publisher, Trash Queen Press, and
this is their first crowd-funded project.
