From 2020-2022, the team behind Bitches on Comics published an all queer and trans speculative fiction magazine called Decoded Pride. Each issue contained 30 stories or comics with illustrations, cover art, and more!
All three issues are available for purchase–at a severely reduced rate from $15 to $3 an issue–from the Bitches of Comics patreon for a limited time. And, any patrons of BoC automatically get a free copy of each issue.
Each issue of Decoded was originally released as a story-a-day anthology of queer and trans science fiction, fantasy, and horror by queer and trans creators during Pride month and provided all subscribers with a full-color, professionally designed PDF in July, but YOU can get immediate access to our full-color PDF available for download RIGHT NOW.
Decoded Pride Editorial Team
Our editorial team was comprised of S.E. Fleenor, Sara Century, Cygne Noire, and Priya Saxena.
Decoded Horror Channel
For our short-lived podcast Decoded Horror Channel, we adapted five short stories from Decoded Pride issues. You can listen to these episodes wherever you get your podcasts with ads or listen to episodes ad-free via the Bitches on Comics patreon.
A note for Decoded Pride creators
We wanted to let all creators know: You can use your story, comic, and art rights however you like. Some creators who were published in Issue 1 signed an older version of the contract that stated further limitations on rights, but that clause should be considered nullified. As soon as we noted the discrepancy, we added a clause to the Decoded Pride contracts clarifying all rights revert to creators after 6 months. All creators are more than 6 months from the publication date and thus, all rights have reverted. We wish you the best in your re-publishing journey and ask only that you note that the story or comic originally appeared in Decoded Pride and please list the applicable issue number.
