Fence (C. S. Pacat, Johanna The Mad, Joana Lafuente) Matt Doyle shares, “It’s a good feeling knowing that I can bring another perspective into the comic book world that hasn’t always been heavily represented. When I was a kid, I identified with comics about outsiders and anti-heroes that didn’t fit in. It has always been a goal of mine to create stories that give voices to the voiceless.” Monstress is an Image Comics series beloved by fans and a wonderful example of how to writer a powerful queer protagonist.

Ace-friendly adventure!Hanna-Pirita Lehkonen shares, “When I was a teenager I really wished to see more people like myself. I’m from a tiny little village in the Finnish countryside and that’s why I didn’t see other LGBTQ people at all. Being able to make comics with that representation gives me power. I know there’s other people who live in communities where they don’t see LGBTQ people but maybe they can feel better when they read my comics about people like them! And even better, comics made by people like them!” A webcomic about being LGBT nerds, girl nerds, nerds of color, disabled nerds, and other kinds of nerds that don’t get as much love. This is a webcomic about being a nerd who’s constantly facing down sexism, racism, anti-LGBTQ bigotry, classism, ableism, fat-hate, and other prejudices and -isms from their nerdery of choice.

Everyone knows this book, but I will continue to recommend it. Most people have already read it, but it still stands out, because of the way it intersects queerness with the ideas of immigration and family and fairy tales. It made me realize there is so much to be done with the idea of history and magic with queerness. And it’s starting to appear even more. I feel like I’m seeing it in more books. The story of two women — Hazel, struggling with an English degree, and Jamie, her buxom and fun best friend. A comic by Patsy Walker AKA Hellcat writer Kate Leth to talk about fun things like feminism, bisexuality, being young, and terrible comic stuff.

What We Do

In this breathtaking and witty graphic novel, Jake Wyatt and Choo explore the power and limits of wishes in a modern fable rooted in magic and family secrets. GQutie (pronounced gee-cutie!) is an autobiographical comic detailing one genderqueer artist’s thoughts, discoveries, and encounters when it comes to their gender and everything connected to it (which is a lot of things, it turns out). This is the story of a queer teenager who made a few bad decisions and has found themselves in a world very far from Queens. Guardians is somewhat of a double threat, with Ewing establishing team members Marvel Boy and Hercules as dating, featuring married lesbian couple Phylla-Vell and Moondragon, and recently revealing team leader Star-Lord as bisexual. It’s easily one of Marvel’s best titles for LGBTQ+ representation, and it seems set to continue to be so with the recent announcement that Hulkling and Wiccan will be joining the team with the April 2021 release of #13. Fun Home and its sequel, Are You My Mother? are both biographies that muse on the shaky and threadbare relationships between parents and their children, specifically from the perspective of a queer daughter struggling with her mental health.
