#20.  Cathedral Child, Lea Hernandez
Cyberosia Publishing, 2002 (?)

Cathedral Child is a very curious graphic novel of somewhat confusing provenance.  It is also, I think, unfinished.  I gather that it was meant to be the first volume

Thanks! Now I have to go look it up. :)

Also: this book, and its writer, raise a "Who's P.O.C.?" question for me. Is Lea Hernandez a writer/artist of color? I am assuming, from her name, her place of origin, and -- here's where it gets really tricky -- from the content of her work, that she is Hispanic, and probably Mexican American. But does that mean she's necessarily a person of color? I don't know.

Lea Hernandez has an LJ, where she can be asked, and also where she says that Hernandez was her husband's name.

Thanks! If I can figure out a way that seems at all appropriate, I will try to ask her that.

It hadn't even occurred to me that she was married! Maybe I should have thought of that.

Browsing entries and I came upon this ... I know Lea (though not really all that well) and I'm pretty much 100% sure that her (ex)husband is Hispanic but she, personally, isn't.

Ah, thank you very much. (Now I do not need to try to figure out how to pose this question to a complete stranger (to me)!)
