J.D. March
J.D. March is a bi-dyke cartoonist who contributed to a variety of queer comics during the 1980s and 1990s. She has had her works featured in numerous queer zines, including the underground series Gay Comix / Gay Comics, a zine celebrating lesbian athletics turned into a magazine known as Girljock, and the West Coast grassroots periodical Lesbian Contradiction.

Personal Life / Career
March became a cartoonist in 1983 and lived in the San Francisco Bay Area between the 1980s and 1990s. In 1993, she identified as a witch. Her specific spirituality or faith is unknown. March likely served in the military or grew up in a military family before becoming a cartoonist. Sometime in the years 1993 and 1996, March shifted from the self-identifying label of lesbian to bi-dyke. Currently, it is unknown whether she identifies as a nonbinary dyke or a bisexual dyke given the term can refer to both identities.

March contributed to several zines beyond Gay Comix, Girljock, and Lesbian Contradiction. In issue 24 of Gay Comix she published under the pseudonym of Ajaks, later spelled as Ajax in issue 25. Many of her comics center around the military lifestyle and kink from the lens of a lesbian woman as well as observing dissent in the lesbian community.
