Gerard Way Joins 'Femme Magnifique' Comic Compilation Celebrating Trailblazing Women

My Chemical Romance frontman, solo artist and established comic book writer Gerard Way has found his next project, the fantastic-sounding anthology Femme Magnifique. More than 100 creative talents will come together to create a bound compilation of new comics “saluting 30 female trailblazers of yesterday and today.”

The Kickstarter endeavor has quickly raised $14,000 of its $40,000 goal, via more than 230 donors. Prospective givers can contribute through March 16. If the campaign passes $65,000, the story count will rise to 50; at $75,000, the paperback plan will be scrapped for a hardcover publication.
