Big Gay Comic Book #1

Product Information

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). A fresh brew of coffee or a pot of tea is not all it seems at Bijou, where Tobias, an expelled witch academy student, works. When Ki, a frightened girl filled with someone else’s memories, shows up at Bijou, it will put Tobias through the toughest magical test he’s ever faced. An ancient empire awakens, bent on reclaiming the world they once dominated. A small group of people, drawn together by a common cause, are determined to stop them. However, they face more than threats from the outside…. A queer, high fantasy comic (with a dash of sci fi). Other Marvel comics up for the award are the current volume of Guardians of the Galaxy – another Al Ewing penned comic, with art chiefly by Juann Cabal and Marcio Takara – and X-Factor, written by Leah Williams, with art by David Baldeon, Carlos Gomez, and Israel Silva, and lettering by Joe Caramagna. An experimental narrative in ink & watercolor, with four interrelated stories: the memoir of a failed sailor, the quest of a traveling ghost, the adventure of a genderqueer Nancy Drew, and some rampaging giant robots. Of note, the characters are all transgender or genderqueer.

Olivia also does quite a lot of really exciting small-press or self-published adult work, including a series called Darlin’, which is historical fiction, also about werewolves in the American West in the 1800s. That’s a much darker and more violent type of story, because it’s an adult storytelling. It touches on a number of complicated issues around American history and colonization, and ecological destruction, and things like that, but done with just breathtaking visual chops, character work, and narrative storytelling ability. Both of these books are gorgeously, intimately drawn and written with such a raw, stripped-bare kind of intensity. On the archipelago, Lizzy cares for her grandfather and their goats, flirts with the ferrywoman, and avoids the fog and monsters that come with night. But when she steals coins from a sacred well to cover a debt, her life is turned upside down. In this article, we have attempted to represent a broad scope of queer writers and stories. You’ll find a lesbian memoir, a gay romance, queer graphic novels filled with asexual and non-binary characters, as well as books by trans writers featuring trans characters.Corinth, a young bi woman, was just trying to clean up the beach. She never expected to meet a mermaid and become friends.

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!”

Fantastical and overflowing with imagination and narrative worldbuilding, Monstresscan often feel overwhelming but having a protagonist as elegant yet gruesome as Maika, and having her be queer (and not the only queer character either) is endlessly exciting. Tillie Walden is one of the best-known creators in queer indie comics. She’s a prolific writer and artist, known for books like the swoony road-trip fantasy Are You Listening, the science fiction epic On a Sunbeam, the autobiographical graphic novel Spinning, and most recently, the Telltale Games tie-in graphic novel Clementine. What do you look for in a queer indie comic? The story of two women — Hazel, struggling with an English degree, and Jamie, her buxom and fun best friend. An action-adventure modern fantasy story with an entire cast of queer characters, starring a gay trans girl and her weird friends!

With hundreds of possible comics out there, this list barely scratches the surface — but in honor of wrapping up Pride Month 2017, here we present 40 webcomics doing the LGBTA community proud! Amira and Sadie are two very different princesses who decide to take their happily ever after into their own hands.

Heartstopper (Alice Oseman) For those unaware, GLAAD is an American monitoring organisation, founded in 1985 as the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation – although now known solely by the acronym, so as not to exclude bi, trans, and other queer people – to combat homophobia in reporting and to lobby for better representation in media. Since 1989, the GLAAD Media Awards have celebrated excellence in LGBTQ+ broadcasting and publishing, initially focussing entirely on TV but in recent years encompassing more varied creative outlets. First off, she has created a compelling yet terrifying matriarchal society with so many intricate moving parts.Being queer — and, more specifically, being gender queer — means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. But most of us have struggled with our identity and how we outwardly project ourselves to others at some point or another. 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.” Little Garden, the land behind the mists, the valley of the river of unforgiven sin, the place where monster girls roam. Here, we have Lizzie and Angela, teasing and flirting as usual. A comic by Patsy Walker AKA Hellcat writer Kate Leth to talk about fun things like feminism, bisexuality, being young, and terrible comic stuff.
