They/Them

Hi, I’m Bucky! I’m a non-binary artist and writer. I also ran and owned Dark Side Comics for six amazing years. I started Velvet Molotov in 2025, after noticing a distinct lack of queer groups in the local area... and a personal need to creatively shove our human rights in the faces of those who would deny them.
