Femslash fan comics

alias_sqbrSo apart from fancomics my other favorite under-appreciated fanfic subgenre is femslash.
I've yet to find any particularly good femslash fan comics, but thought I would share a link I just found to prove it exists at all: Passion and Perfection: Graphic Novels. Xena and Star Trek: Voyager, I must admit I didn't read them because they're not fandoms I'm into and I'm not a big fan of the screencaps+dialogue style.
Out of curiosity I googled "yuri doujinshi", but as I guess I should have expected all I found was badly scanned untranslated japanese lesbian porn :/ Looking up doujinshi at deli.cio.us I found Scanned yuri doujinshi at Lillicious. Again, not my fandoms so I didn't read, I make no guarantees to quality or explicitness etc.
An interesting question: do the ratios of het/gen/slash in fancomics/doujinshi roughly match those in prose fanfic? Do people even think of them the same way? I get the feeling yuri is more popular in Japan than lesbian fiction is in the west so that may have some effect (since even english language fancomics have a much heavier japanese influence and presence than english language fanfiction(*)). Personally I've noticed a lot of humourous gag-a-day gen fancomics and short-ish het and slash romances.
(*)Totally off topic, but I wonder if there's much japanese language prose fanfiction, and how Japan compares in this respect to other countries. Really, I don't know much about attitudes to fanfic etc in many countries beyond Australia/America etc.
