Texas Tracts is now available online through our ETSY shop as well as the following outlets: Birdcage Bottom Books (USA), Lambiek (NL), Henk's Comics and Manga Store (NL), The American Book Center (NL), Boekie Woekie (NL), and Waterstones (NL).

"Bask in the beauty of TEXAS TRACTS, a brilliant co-option of the insidious Chick tracts that were used to hurt people. She’s transformed the concept into something incredibly warm and healing. And they look stunning." -Comic Book Couples Counseling

"What works so well here isn’t simply in the immediate parody of a notorious source but the way in which Meyer uses the original format to create a more layered social commentary, going beyond the obvious critique of belligerent religious teaching and offering a profound and nuanced reflection on the importance of breaking free from group indoctrination and embracing individual freedom of thought." -Broken Frontier

"As for the cartooning in these three comics, it’s uniformly exemplary: Meyer is a modern master of shading and wash effects.... She’s got talent the size of Texas in her, of that there is absolutely no doubt." Four Color Apocalypse
