On Episode 91 of the Capes and Tights Podcast, Justin Soderberg welcomes Jude Ellison S. Doyle to the show to discuss his latest comic book The Neighbors at BOOM! Studios and more! Doyle is an author, columnist, and comic book writer.
Under his former pen name “Sady Doyle,” Jude is the author of Trainwreck: The Women We Love to Hate, Mock, and Fear… and Why, which has been called “smart, funny and fearless” (Boston Globe), “compelling” and “persuasive” (New York Times Book Review). The Atlantic predicted that “Trainwreck will very likely join the feminist canon.” Doyle’s second book, Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers: Monstrosity, Patriarchy and the Fear of Female Power was named a Best Non-Fiction Book of 2019 by Kirkus Reviews and was shortlisted for Starburst Magazine’s Brave New Words award.
In 2021, Jude published Maw, a 5-issue comic series with artist A.L. Kaplan, for BOOM! Studios. The collected edition was published in August of 2022. It’s his favorite thing ever.
Jude Ellison S. Doyle also founded the feminist blog Tiger Beatdown in 2008, led several successful social media awareness campaigns, including #MooreandMe and #MenCallMeThings, won the Women’s Media Center’s first Social Media Award in 2011, and was a founding staffer at Rookie Magazine and a contributor to the bestselling anthologies Book of Jezebel and Nasty Women.
His pieces have appeared in Elle, The Guardian, The Atlantic, The Awl, Buzzfeed, and all across the Internet. He currently writes a regular column at Medium’s GEN, and appears frequently at XTra. He’s spoken at Harvard, SXSW, and Netroots Nation. He once made a flowchart about farts for the New York Times.
