Comics Work

Hi! My name is B. Erin Cole, and I am a cartoonist and historian.

I have been self-publishing my comics since 2017. I create comics for print and for the web. My print titles include The Desert Keeps Receipts, How to Visit Rocky Flats in 20 Confusing Steps, Snake of the Day, Tomato Cafe, and more. I plan to have a new comic (title TBD) for 2023 shows. In the last few years, I have tabled at SPX, MICE, and Thought Bubble.

My comics have three main themes:

1. the history of the contemporary American West, specifically nuclear landscapes

2. everyday life with a brain injury and mental health issues

3. cute characters in awkward situations

Many of my comics are available online, and you can see some of my work at the links below:

I Make Exhibits

Who are museum exhibits for, and what difference does that make?

The Desert Keeps Receipts

We are immersed in a landscape of risk, a damaged place that damages in return.

Am I Still A Historian?

What kind of work do historians value? Who belongs and who doesn’t? Or, what happens when an injured brain meets a crappy system?
