About

Black Josei Press is an award-winning indie comic book publishing company focused on applauding comics by and for people of color from marginalized genders and sexualities.

Black Josei Press is heavily inspired by josei manga and primarily publishes comics for grown folks, but we also have comics for all ages. We hope to improve the comic landscape by providing a space for creators like us to tell their stories.

We were founded in 2018 by the Black, Latinx, Queer, and disabled comics writer Jamila Rowser. We are based in North Carolina on the traditional land of Lumbee, the Mánu: Yį Įsuwą (Catawba), and Skaruhreh/Tuscarora.
