Sirbrian Spease is a formerly-incarcerated artist and author of The Boy of Hearts, the first of a three-part autobiography series from A.B.O. Comix publications.

Sirbrian’s story of acceptance of his mental health challenges, his queer identity, and his alter ego Devon is a heart-wrenching, inspiring end to our first season.
