“Working with Diamond is a dream come true for me.” says co-founder Laurie Foster. “The opportunity for our books to be in stores, read by a whole new audience, and to collaborate with them to expand our reach and knowledge is the next step to evolve our company and creative process, too.”
Laguna Studios boasts an ever-growing library of works, with comic books and graphic novels from a large range of genres and themes, all featuring minority main characters. Finding Dee is a stunning, hilarious, and emotional collection of comic strips about a cartoonist discovering herself as a transgender woman, written and drawn by Reuben Award-nominated Dee Fish.
