FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

Oneshi Press Announces Release of  “Tracy Queen, Volume 1”

Missoula, Montana (April 10, 2019) – The graphic novel about a killer camgirl with a talking raccoon sidekick, a cyborg-clone army, and a single-minded mission to empower women has finally arrived! Missoula, Montana–based publisher Oneshi Press is proud to announce the release of Tracy Queen, Volume 1, the first issue of an epic, eight-part graphic novel about a love warrior with a checkered past whose journey to self-discovery takes her on a sci-fi adventure.

Written by award-winning author Lynsey G., Tracy Queen, Volume 1 begins the epic story of twentysomething Tracy, who’s just been dumped by a boyfriend who disapproved of her role as an enforcer for her grandfather’s organized crime syndicate. At the end of a very bad day, Tracy befriends a talking raccoon who inspires her to get away from her grandfather’s stifling control. She soon realizes she can make a living by webcamming and discovers she enjoys the work, feeling empowered and self-sufficient. But that’s when she realizes that women are too often repressed and punished for being sexual or doing sex work. Soon, she is fighting for her life against outside forces bent on victimizing and controlling her body and her career.

“It’s time for a new kind of comic book hero—an empowered woman who is unafraid of being herself, even when that means choosing pleasure over violence,” says writer Lynsey G. “We need more stories about women who can be smart, successful, badass, and sexual, too.”

Although the character Tracy Queen works in the adult entertainment industry, the graphic novel is not pornographic or sexual in nature. “There is some skin in the book, and of course sexual situations, but this is a story about a person who owns her sexuality. It’s about sex itself,” Lynsey G. explained.

After seven years of development and a successful $9.5K Kickstarter to fund production and printing of the book, the 60-page, perfect-bound trade paperback of Tracy Queen, Volume 1 is now available exclusively at the Oneshi Press online store. With illustrations by noted visual artist Jayel Draco, lettering by comics-industry stalwart Cardinal Rae, cover art by digital visionary stevieraedrawn, and ten pages of guest art from fans of the series, Tracy Queen, Volume 1 is a full-color, gorgeous, immersive experience.

This first issue of the Tracy Queen is now available in limited-edition trade paperback exclusively at the Oneshi Press online store. For more information, or to request a printed copy of Tracy Queen, Volume 1 for review, please contact Lynsey G. at [email protected].
