A gorgeous anthology of 16 stories from various skater-illustrators and skaters paired up with illustrators, complete with biographies for all. Great quality, great mix.
True Tales of Roller Derby
Oni Press | 2008, 2009
Rose City Rollers team up with several artists for two totally outrageous issues. The first gives a short story to each of the four home teams before ending on a cliffhanger, which leads into the second issue - there, we follow the Wheels of Justice as they get ready for nationals with a hurdle they've never faced before. Definitely all true.
Super Genius | 2016 - 2018
The impressively creative Jessica Abel has created a super interesting world and story about a teenager in a colony on Mars, and her dreams of hoverderby. The culture, technology, and lore are so unique - but the comic stays grounded through its close-to-home depiction of interpersonal struggles and boiling political undercurrent.

Lumberjanes: On a Roll

A trippy tale set in the world's scariest high school during the '70s. Like watching a stylistic dream in red, orange, and yellow.
I can't find volume two. RollerGames style.
