Project Summary:
The first of its kind, The LGBTQ+ Comics Studies Reader will honour LGBTQ+ work that emerged from and was influenced by comics’ post-WWII convulsions and transformations, the emergence and flourishing of the underground and alternative comix movement, the expansion of voices and cultures represented within mainstream comics, and the history of LGBTQ+ liberation to become what nonetheless remains an underrepresented sub-category in comics scholarship: LGBTQ+ comics, their critical implications, their provocative current iterations, and their future directions.
Project Description:
The aim of The LGBTQ+ Comics Studies Reader is to provide a platform for sustained, theoretically rigorous thinking about the various social, economic, historical, cultural, ethical, affective, and pedagogical issues at work in LGBTQ+ comics and cartoons, from around the world.
