>>126359578Brian Vasaggio was an unsuccessful indie comic writer in Portland for years. No one read his comics or bought them either. The industry didn't give a shit about Brian.
Brian decided that he was now a strong and proud woman. Brian put a wig on his male pattern baldness head, and started wearing dresses. Brian also changed his name to Mags.
Suddenly, Mags Vasaggio out of nowhere becomes the biggest rising star in the portland indie comic scene. DC signed up Mags to be the star member of their "Gifted Young Writers Program" despite Mags being 35 when she was selected in to the program. Marvel, IDW, DC and Boom all began competing with eachother to hire Mags Vasaggio. No body wanted their work when they were a bald man named Brian. But when they became a beautiful woman named Mags, they suddenly got hired by every major comic studio in America within 2 years.
Mags Vasaggio comics often struggle to sell more than 4k copies despite having the advantage of every major comic publishing company and every major comic media site promoting them. Mags has been nominated for awards calling her the best writer in the industry, but still no one buys her comics. Many such cases like this out of Portland.
