Can anyone recommend any good LGBTQ comic books or graphic novels? Super-hero or any other genre is fine. |

Check out The Authority, which is a DC title that somewhat mirrors the old 'squad of superheros' style comics. Features two gay superhero protagonists, Midnighter and Apollo. Some more major titles with gay subthemes include Ultimate X-Men (where Colossus is homosexual and expresses interest in/dates several other superheroes that I don't remember off the top of my head) and Hellblazer, notably in the Highwater arc. |

Alpha Flight #106 is the issue where the character Northstar reveals that he is gay. It was the first comic approved by the Comics Code Authority that approved a comic to even mention homosexuality. |

LGBTQ is actually a huge field in manga, if you don't mind reading your comics backwards. I can reccomend a lot of series if you'd like. As for the person above that recc'd Banana Fish: I <3 you. That is an amazing series, I wish more people knew about it and read it. |

The Strangers in Paradise series by Terry Moore was very long and complicated and revolved around the relationship between two women named Katchoo and Francine. Early on you learn Katchoo is in love with Francine and as the series goes on, their lives get very complicated and their relationship changes in ways neither of them could have expected. I was very happy with the way it all ended :) |
