Hi, I’m Bijhan Agha, a trans Muslim comics creator, and I want to share a piece of work that represents so much of who I am: Legendary X-Knights. This comic was created by an interfaith team—myself as the author, my husband RaeRae (a Jewish editor), and our illustrator Swaptrap, who is Indian and Hindu. Together, we’ve built a story that celebrates resilience, solidarity, and the power of standing together.
For RaeRae and me, this project is deeply personal. We’re both multiply disabled and live with the daily challenges that come with it. On top of that, we struggle with food insecurity, something we know many people are facing in a time when inflation is making basic necessities harder and harder to afford. Writing this comic has been more than creative work—it’s been a way to find purpose and hope in tough times.
Legendary X-Knights is a story about three strangers, chosen by magical crystals, who unite to fight forces that seek to dominate and divide. It’s a story of transformation, community, and the strength we find in working together to create change. For us, this comic reflects the ideals of mutual aid: the belief that we’re stronger when we lift one another up.
If you’re able, I’d love for you to check out our Kickstarter and help bring this story to life. Your support means more than words can say. Thank you for being part of a world where people care for one another.
