š! #9 "female secrets" preview

In June we together with guest editor Ryan Sands announced an open call for female artists to contribute to š! #9 “female secrets”. We received well over 100 contributions by 97 international artists (including 27 from Latvia). The works were of utmost diversity and it took us a while to select the comics to be published. However, now after litres of sweat (gallons for Ryan) it is done and the issue soon will go be out (according to our printer on the 21st of November)! Here we proudly reveal the up-to-now secret artist list:
