Geeks OUT Presents: POWER

The cover of Geeks OUT Presents: POWER by John Curtis Jennison, Jr.

In June 2015, the nonprofit organization Geeks OUT put out its first publication, which was partially inspired by John Jennison Jr.’s battle with a form of pancreatic cancer. The story of how this month’s selection came about is recounted in its opening pages, and is as inspiring and enervating as the comics contained therein. Geeks OUT Presents: POWER has stories and artwork from more than thirty contributors from all over the world, all centered around the theme of power. As Mr. Jennison writes in his Editor’s Note, “Life doesn’t stop because you feel powerless.” (Full disclosure: I am a frequent contributor to Geeks OUT, but I didn’t join until 2016.)
