There’s a very distinct look to your art that’s nothing shy of amazing. The book has plenty of new (and old!) faces, picking up right where Book One left off-we return to find our heroes reckoning with a princess who seems less-than-happy to be “rescued”, as well as a mysterious new threat in pursuit of their ship! The second book really explores what it means to have autonomy while still being part of a family. While Book One focused on introducing the characters and setting up the universe, Book Two really dives into our main characters’ relationships, strengths, and flaws. Can you hint at what returning readers can expect out of Book 2?

On an impulse, Pan sneaks onto their spaceship to join their cause. But when a pair of charismatic Cosmoknights show up on her doorstep years later, Pan is intrigued-these women compete in jousting matches not for the hands of princesses, but for their freedom. After helping her best friend Tara (a space princess) run away from home to escape an arranged marriage, Pan finds herself an outcast, blamed for her home-planet’s economic downturn. First, what is Cosmoknights for anyone who’s unfamiliar?Ĭosmoknights is my sci-fi graphic novel series about lesbian gladiators fighting the patriarchy… in space! It follows the story of Pandora Leverett, a young woman from a small planet at the edge of the galaxy who gets swept up in an epic adventure. She also shares what fans should expect from the upcoming series and reveals what inspired this colorful story, as Templer imparts some wisdom about the important themes of ‘Found Family’ in the queer community. The Workprint was lucky enough to speak with Cosmoknights’ creator Hannah Templer via e-mail, who shared with us where the series is about to go. A popular webcomic turned into a graphic novel by Top Shelf Productions. When a tale of a group of women, princesses, and rebels, tired of the system of being sold for wealth, decides to break free. Cosmoknights is a story about a rebellion and the upending of the patriarchal status quo.
