Maiden in Disguise: Vol. 1: Nerds of the A.V. Club

It's hard being the coolest guy online, when no one knows you're actually a teenage girl! Follow Elianna and her friends on the planet Eotera, a world where video-games rule, cyborgs are real, and aliens may be closer than we expect.

In Maiden in Disguise, Elianna (or, Eli as she mostly goes by) is a shy, insecure girl who has somehow become famous for playing one of the most powerful video game characters in the popular Eoteran MMORPG, Legend of Worlds.

Due to her notoriety as the exceptionally masculine Elrynd Aggronar, and the fact that she doesn't take care of her appearance, she is constantly confused for being a boy. This story explores her life as she navigates the difficulties of school, teenage romance, gender identity, digital fame, and staying true to herself.

This is the debut volume of this ongoing comicbook series.

Maiden in Disguise is also written in Dyslexie Font to support and raise awareness for people who have dyslexia, a disorder that involves having difficulty in interpreting words, letters, and other symbols, but does not affect general intelligence. Dyslexie Font is specially designed to allow these individuals to read with greater ease.

When I first began working on my dream of being a published comic book author and artist, I couldn't draw worth a darn, writing cohesive sentences was a chore, and my spelling was absolutely awful. But, I always knew I wanted to create stories that are inspiring and uplifting to all who read them. It is my hope that my creations will act as a counterpoint to all the darkness and ever-present depression that seems to weigh so many of us down. I know I can't beat it all myself, but if even one person reads my works and becomes excited to make something of their own, then I will consider myself successful. And, if it's more people than that, all the better!
