Bitch Planet

This dystopian sci-fi series, originally published in 2014, is written by Kelly Sue DeConnick with primary art by Valentine De Landro. The series focuses on a diverse cast of women who have been sent to a futuristic outer-space prison for being, in various ways, “non compliant”—that is, resisting the strict rules imposed on the performance of woman-ness by a patriarchally fascist ruling class. This collection of content focuses on the comic’s deeply political engagement with exploitation aesthetics and cultivation of feminist fan communities.
