lgbtincomics:‘Lumberjanes’ Animated Series in the Works at HBO Max Lumberjanes, the Eisner-winning Boom! Studios comic book, is in development to be an animated series for HBO Max. Noelle Stevenson, who co-created the book and proved her animation mettle showrunning Netflix’s She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, is writing and executive producing. The project is in development at the streamer, and should it venture forward, would launch with an animated special that would lead into a series. Stevenson would direct the special and some of the episodes. Lumberjanes tells of five friends — April, Jo, Mal, Molly and Ripley — who meet one fateful summer at a camp named Miss Quinzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thilstle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady Types. Their differences aren’t the only thing they have to canoe around, as the girls soon discover there are mysterious and supernatural forces afoot. The comic was created by Stevenson, Shannon Watters, Grace Ellis and Brooklyn A. Allen and launched in 2014. It proved a runaway hit, with more than 1.5 million copies of the trade paperbacks sold since. Lumberjanes has run for over 70 issues and 13 graphic novels, won multiple Eisner Awards, and won the GLAAD award for outstanding comic book thanks to its exploration of female friendship and strong LGBTQ representation.via Hollywood Reporter -- source link
