Three Words: An Anthology of Aotearoa/NZ Women's Comics is a 2016 collection that was edited by Rae Joyce, Sarah Laing, and Indira Neville.[1] The book was first published on 14 March 2016 and collects together 63 female comic artists from New Zealand.[2][3] Joyce stated that she wanted to create the collection after reading an anthology that was marketed as a history of New Zealand comics, only to feel that "it was representing the white male POV status quo rather than the reality of comics in NZ".[2] She further commented that she hoped that Three Words would raise awareness for female comics from New Zealand, as she felt that they were underrepresented.[4][5]

The book received a review from Radio New Zealand.[6]

Synopsis

Three Words has comics from 63 female comic artists from New Zealand. Its title references the process of the creation of the content: all contributors chose three words for another contributor to use as a starting point for their comic. Submissions were also open to transgender people who identify as women, or who once identified as women.[7]

The book includes contributions from Beth Duckingmonster, Jessica Hansell, Rosemary McLeod, and Susan Te Kahurangi King, and featured essays by Robyn Kenealy, Rae Joyce, Ruth Boyask, Jem Yoshioka and Miriam Sapphira.
