This week on the Capes and Tights Podcast, Justin Soderberg welcomes back comic book writer Jude Ellison S. Doyleto the podcast to discuss his latest comic series Dead Teenagers and more!
Jude Ellison S. Doyle is an author, journalist, and comic book writer living in upstate New York.
Under his former pen name “Sady Doyle,” Jude founded the feminist blog Tiger Beatdown in 2008. He is the author of Trainwreck: The Women We Love to Hate, Mock, and Fear... and Why (Melville House 2016), 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 (Melville House, 2019) was named a Best Non-Fiction Book of 2019 by Kirkus Reviews and was shortlisted for Starburst Magazine’s Brave New Words award. His first non-fiction book under his real name, DILF: Did I Leave Feminism, was published by Melville House in the fall of 2025.
In 2021, Jude published his first comic: Maw, a limited-series horror comic with artist A.L. Kaplan, for BOOM! Studios. His follow-up, The Neighbors with artist Letizia Cadonici, was published in 2023, and was nominated for a 2024 GLAAD award for “Outstanding Comic.” Both are now available in collected edition. Jude’s third limited series with BOOM! Studios, Be Not Afraid with artist Lisandro Estherren, debuted in summer 2025, and Dead Teenagers, a limited series with artist Caitlin Yarsky, will be out from Oni Press in March 2026.
Jude Doyle has 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, Nasty Women and It Came From the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror.
His pieces have appeared in Elle, The Guardian, The Atlantic, Buzzfeed, and all across the Internet. He co-wrote the libretto for a German experimental music piece about Princess Diana. He currently writes a regular column at Xtra, Canada’s premier LGBTQIA+ magazine. He has a newsletter that’s not on Substack. He’s been invited to Italy three times, which was not enough. He once made a flowchart about farts for the New York Times.
