We also want to show that love and passion are present at every age - and just as intense for women in their sixties as for teenagers.”īingo Love will be an 80-page, full-color graphic novella. “We want to tell the story of women who are gay, Black, and in love - and who learn to live without apology. “ Bingo Love is Black Mirror’s ‘San Junipero’ meets Moonlight,” said Franklin.
They seem destined to live apart, permanently cut off from one another, but fate - and bingo - have another plan for them. Not only do the young women have to endure the pain of separation, but they’re also both married off to men they don’t love. Two girls in love are bound to be star-crossed in 1963, and their families forbid them from seeing each other again. As their relationship grows, they discover their deep love for one another, but the timing couldn’t be worse. The story revolves around Hazel Johnson and Mari McCray, two thirteen year old girls who, in no time, become the best of friends. Franklin, whose writing credits include stories in Nailbiter, Love Is Love, and Elements, as well as the creator of #BlackComicsMonth, will be self publishing her first full-length comic through her own company, Inclusive Press.
