The story kept growing as I made each chapter. Originally, I planned for it to be 18 pages total - just enough to have a new thing to sell at a big show. Jessi Zabarsky: First off, thank you, I’m flattered! Witchlight was my first comic longer than 40 pages or so, and I had to trick myself into making it. What was it like for you to craft this story? This time in Health and Inclusivity, we had the honor of speaking with Zabarsky about her graphic novel and the value we see in it through the lens of this column.Īllen Thomas: Witchlight is an experience, one that has made a wordless and lasting impression on me. As they traverse through many lands, we learn about them as they learn about each other, finding how they create a bond through their own experiences of loss and trauma, and ultimately how they forge a love for each other and many different others. Written and illustrated by Jessi Zabarsky, this comic details the journey of a young witch and a young villager as the former seeks answers regarding the lost half of her power. What would you do if you were all you had in a world that felt at odds against you, if the expectations placed on you diminished your ability to live life on your terms? That is the question asked of Lelek and Sanja, the protagonists of the upcoming graphic novel Witchlight.
