I am a PoC (South East Asian), LGBT+, disabled creator, working on a comic that features all of these things. Though I do live in NA (not the USA) I'm from an immigrant family. Not sure if that matter or not when it comes to the circumstances of my location.
Though the lead character isn't obviously disabled, his narrative is, as I tried to make the experience more broad and like an allegory so that it would be more relatable to general readers, I also didn't want my story to be considered inspiration porn which is a category a lot narratives around disability will be thrown under even when the intent isn't intentional. In the story it's framed as 'this character has a count down to his death and is surrounded by gods with powers and abilities he cannot do' it's a mirror to how my disabilities limit what I can do compared to everyone else around me, and how I need to depend on other people, as well as how my disability significantly shortens my lifespan and will eventually be the cause of my death.
The cast is large, with a lot of characters having different ethnicities, gender identities and sexualities.
The beginning the English may be a little off, my English has gotten better over the years though (I hope), I really need to go back and fix it but it's hard to find the free time to do so as I try to update this daily, as well, I kind of want to be able to finish the story before I lose the ability to draw because of my health.
Diversity is always a goal I strive for in my stories! I have lots of diverse character designs, a heavily LGBTQ+ cast with a variety of identities, and characters with mental illnesses, autism, and ADHD. I like to draw inspiration from both my own experiences in the areas I'm marginalized as well as many of my friends to create a vibrant and varied cast.
I'm a novelist from Asia (SEA) and a lot of my characters or cultural settings are based in Asia. I think it's great to have this thread and I hope more diverse voices can be heard!

Here's my comic Forced!
around 90% of my characters are LGBTQIA+ (including the entire main cast), there's also lot of POC and disabled characters (though it will be several months til the whole extended cast is introduced), and the comic also addresses trauma and mental health.

Hey there! I hope our comic is similar to what you're looking for Our comic is an LGBT+ romance/drama taking place in New York City. All of our characters are LGBT+ and a good majority of them are POC.
Our main character, Nikola Hyland, is a pansexual Latino man who works as a model/influencer, but is trying to find his real purpose in life. (He's a little bit of a himbo and way too optimistic for his own good, but we love him anyway )
We just came back from a hiatus and plan on updating regularly this year, so please check us out if you're interested!
Also, we're co-creators, one of us is in the US and the other is in Australia
Hi there! I'm a female, neurodiverse creator (ADHD) from Australia, with a comic which features a diverse cast. Only one character has been introduced thus far, but a bunch more of them arrive next week.
It's a sci-fi/fantasy, so not everyone is human. But even so, it has a number of darker-skinned characters, a few LGBT characters and romances, and my main character has a number of ADHD quirks. (They don't call it that in-universe, but I want him to be relatable to people like me.)

My story is all about Individuality and diverse characters based on race, origin, opinion, etc... And how that clashes and creates for an interesting drama in the setting of a modern fantasy world. Not to mention, the main characters have "powers" which enhance their Individuality beyond what is normal. If it's the type of story you are looking for, here's the link
