Topaz Comics is a writer/artist duo consisting of Michelle and Jey.

Michelle is a queer writer for the webcomic Dead City and spends her free time reading and daydreaming.

Jey is a queer comic artist and occasional animator. When not working, they’re at home furiously drawing for various comic projects. Jey is the artist for the webcomic Dead City. They also write and draw the autobio comic Gender Slices. They have contributed comics to various anthologies and animated for a variety of animated shorts and re-animate projects.

We have worked together as a team creating comics for over three years, putting out the webcomic Dead City. We have also been published in the Awkward Sex Anthology, and have a comic on the feminist porn website Filthy Figments.

News update!

Jey here, after much consideration I have decided to take down Gender Slices here on Tapas.

It was not an easy decision to make but the comic itself (created from 2016 to 2020) is now outdated in lgbtq+ issues and about my own life.

Gender Slices will still be available to read on https://topazcomics.com and you can buy the book and PDF at https://topazcomics.com/shop/

I'm also continuing my autobio comics over on https://ohjoysextoy.com/ but many are nsfw/18+

Thank you all for reading and I hope you'll seek out new queer comics!

I'm also on twitter, tumblr & instagram @jeypawlik

News update!

Hello everyone, it's been a while but we wanted to update you on our comics!

With Dead City and Gender Slices finished on here, we've been working on a few other projects.

"Alola, Darumaka" is a fun 4-koma slice of life comic about the pokemon Darumaka and her partner Daven. This updates every Tuesday on our website https://topazcomics.com

Jey is working with Oh Joy Sex Toy now, making autobio comics that are very similar to "Gender Slices". A 5 page comic is posted on the first Tuesday of every month over at https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/tag/jey-pawlik/

On top of those two projects, Jey has a ton of exclusive comics up on patreon. This includes NSFW comics that won't be posted publicly: https://patreon.com/jpawlik

We'll eventually bring some comics over here, but in the time being these are the best places to see our new and upcoming work!

Ending two long-standing webcomics in one year is a lot, Jey also ended Gender Slices back in April.

But we're so happy with how Dead City turned out.

We love these boys so much and we never could have made it this far without each other. We really stuck with it and made a great wholesome comic!

From the beginning we wanted to focus on JP and Mikael’s relationship, rather than the typical story beats of a zombie comic. And I think we succeeded at that, even if it wasn’t what everyone was expecting.

This was a way for us to learn how to create comics together and it was never meant to be a grand epic. Even so it ended up longer than we expected at 330 pages!

While we never expected that this comic would end during an actual pandemic, we hope that its messages of hope and resiliency helped.

We hope everyone enjoyed our first comic and we're really looking forward to what’s up and coming for us in the future!
In the mean time you can check out Dead City art and extras at a few other places:

Just curious, are you going to be creating any new comics since dead city is now completed? I've loved all of the comics y'all have produced!

We do specify in our individual write-ups on the last Dead City page https://tapas.io/episode/1813654?comment_id=10704879 that we're going to continue working on webcomics and we're excited to start new things. We'll be taking a break for a little while, but we are working on some shorts and new ideas!

An update:
We've been posting Alola, Darumaka pages up on our comic site ( topazcomics.com ) during the pandemic so far and while we're not quite ready to post those pages on Tapas regularly just yet, we've been linking those updates here instead of posting Dead City pages. Tapas doesn't really like it when you post an update image instead of a comic however so we stopped doing that a few weeks ago.

We want to inform you though, that while there won't be any comic update today we're going to try and bring Dead City back from hiatus next Tuesday!

Thank you all for your patience and your continued support!

A few questions for Jey: first off, out of all the Gender Slices pages, which is your favorite? Secondly, who's one person that the world needs to know about? (Eg. a fellow artist who should really be more famous than they are, a musician who deserves more recognition, etc.)
