Queen of Cosmos Comix creator Willy Mendes and her psychedelic autobiographical tale are highlighted in the Fall/Winter 2020 issue of the International Journal of Comic Art.

"I knew as soon as I read Queen of Cosmos that it was a story we needed to get out to the world," Red 5 Comics co-publisher Joshua Starnes said. "I'm so happy people are re-discovering Willy's work, and she has returned to the comic world."

Barbara 'Willy' Mendes studied art throughout her youth in New York City before publishing stories and covers in underground comix. She developed a style of brilliantly colored narrative paintings that have been exhibited in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Tel Aviv.

A new volume of Queen of Cosmos Comix will be released in 2022.
