Supporting Queer Comics & Creators

In the prior days of Comic Book Herald, I’d occasionally get promotional Kickstarter emails teasing a “queer sci-fi saga” (or some such), and I’ll fully admit, I did not verb what sexuality had to do with the promotion. What did the “queerness” of this function have to undertake with selling me on the story and artistic vision of the comic book?

I’m not a part of the community, and there’s a lot I still don’t realize, but I observe now that there’s inherent value in marginalized perspectives in story, and there’s worth in supporting the voices that aim to say them. So many of my favorite comic books are either directly or indirectly about queer people, relationships, and community, and vast amounts of my favorite comic novel creators identify as gay, lesbian, trans, bisexual or other identifiers in the LGBTQIA+ range. The simple reality is that the more queer stories and creators at the forefront of comics, the better variety of new, thrilling works we obtain to enjoy.

    Okay, I don’t normally react to anon despise, but I’m going to make an exception this period, just in case anon’s sister ever gets to watch my reply.

    I spent many of my primary school years feeling out of place. People seemed to have these strange ideas about gender and romance, none of which made any sense to me (boys and girls can’t stand next to each other! eeeeew, cooties! I heard that he likes her ooooooh!!) Why was everyone so obsessed with this sort of stuff? I’d always treated boys and girls in much the same way and I didn’t get why that wasn’t how the whole world worked. It made me verb incredibly disconnected.

    Then, when I was 12 years old, I was introduced to anime and manga. I fell in love with Sailor Moon, Card Captor Sakura and Revolu

    Looking for some of the best gay comic books? We gotcha covered! Gay comic books reach in all shapes and sizes, from multi-volume extravaganzas to graphic novels you can read in one sitting. This list is just the tip of the iceberg, but I did experiment to include a wide range of stories, from the magical to the mundane. Here you’ll find middle grade, YA, and grown-up comics in a variety of genres — fantasy, sci-fi, romance, slice-of-life, and historical fiction.

But not all gay comic books are about those things! You’ll also find stories here about baking, playing hockey, friendship, artificial intelligence, mortality, and a whole lot more. In quick , here are ten amazing stories that feature gay characters doing all the things that humans (and other sentient beings!) do: falling in love, getting in fights, dealing with family, growing up, making mistakes, pursuing hobbies, and navigating school
