Comics have played a significant role in shaping queer female identity, community, and politics for generations. This book explores the past, present, and future of lesbianism in comics, examining how nonheteronormative female characters have been raced, classed, and gendered, and the relationship between lesbian and queer comics. It also explores the roles of queer female comics, characters, and cartoonists in the origins, history, and evolution of sequential art as a genre.

Comics have held a significant place in the realm of queer female identity, community, and politics for countless generations. Whether manifesting as newspaper strips, comic books, graphic novels, or memoirs, the medium has a rich history of depicting female same-sex attraction, relationships, and identity. This book delves into the historical, present, and potential future trajectory of lesbianism within the realm of comics.
What role has the medium played in the cultural construction, social (and literal) visibility, and political advocacy of same-sex female attraction and identity? Moreover, how have these features evolved over time? How have nonheteronormative female characters been raced, classed, and gendered? What is the relationship between lesbian comics and queer comics? How has the medium contributed to establishing the distinction between lesbian and queer female identity, as well as blurring, reinforcing, or policing it? What roles have queer female comics, characters, and cartoonists played in the origins, history, and evolution of sequential art as a genre?
The essays included in this book aim to inspire engagement with these and other pertinent questions, while also offering an exploration of potential answers. They provide a compelling examination of a diverse range of essential titles, characters, creators, topics, themes, and issues.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Lesbian Studies.
