Queer cartooning has been one of the most vibrant artistic and countercultural movements of the past 40 years, tackling complex issues of identity and changing social mores with intelligence, humor, and an irreverent imagination.
No Straight Lines, a massive anthology published by Fantagraphics Books, is the most definitive collection to date of this material, showcasing everything from lesbian underground comix, to gay newspaper strips, bi punk zines, and trans webcomics. The editor of the book,
Justin Hall (

Hard To Swallow) moderates an all-star panel of some of the true greats of LGBTQ comics:
Alison Bechdel (
Fun Home,
Dykes to Watch Out For),
Paige Braddock (
Jane's World),
Ed Luce (
Wuvable Oaf),
Trina Robbins (
Wimmen's Comix), and
Eric Shanower (
Age of Bronze).
