Lin Young The LGBTQ+ Comics Studies Reader explores the exemplary
trove of LGBTQ+ comics that coalesced in the underground and
alternative comix scenes of the mid-1960s and in the decades after.
Through insightful essays and interviews with leading comics
figures, volume contributors illuminate the critical opportunities,
current interactions, and future directions of these comics. This
heavily illustrated volume engages with the work of preeminent
artists across the globe, such as Howard Cruse, Edie Fake, Justin
Hall, Jennifer Camper, and Alison Bechdel, whose iconic artwork is
reproduced within the volume. Further, it addresses and questions
the possibilities of LGBTQ+ comics from various scholarly positions
and multiple geographical vantages, covering a range of queer lived
experience. Along the way, certain LGBTQ+ touchstones emerge
organically and inevitably-pride, coming out, chosen families,
sexual health, gender, risk, and liberation. Featuring comics
figures across the gamut of the industry, from renowned scholars to
emerging creators and webcomics artists, the reader explores a
range of approaches to LGBTQ+ comics-queer history, gender and
sexuality theory, memory studies, graphic medicine, genre studies,
biography, and more-and speaks to the diversity of publishing forms
and media that shape queer comics and their reading communities.
Chapters trace the connections of LGBTQ+ comics from the panel,
strip, comic book, graphic novel, anthology, and graphic memoir to
their queer readership, the LGBTQ+ history they make visible, the
often still quite fragile LGBTQ+ distribution networks, the coded
queer intelligence they deploy, and the community-sustaining energy
and optimism they conjure. Above all, The LGBTQ+ Comics Studies
Reader highlights the efficacy of LGBTQ+ comics as a kind of common
ground for creators and readers.
