The fastt-growg area ics right now may be, broadly speakg, queer ics—ics that feature some way the liv, whether real or imaged, of LGBTQ (lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, and/or queer) characters.
Queer ics are one of the most vibrant areas of ntemporary ics, fueled large part by the naway succs of Alison Bechl’s 2006 graphic memoir Fun Home: A Fay Tragiic—the story of a gay girl and her closeted, ultimately suicidal gay father that was adapted to be a Broadway mil of the same tle, and went on to w the Tony Award for Bt Mil 2015. Gayns ed to be a public accatn leveled at ics to discred the medium: the 1950s, Batman and Rob, and Wonr Woman, were spected to be gay, and therefore a negative fluence.
Fredric Wertham wrote his fluential book on ics that the former reprent “a wish dream of two homosexuals livg together, ” and for the latter, “the homosexual nnotatn of the Wonr Woman type of story is psychologilly unmistakable … For girls she is a morbid ial. ” The famo 1954 Comics Co, spired by Wertham’s study, banned “sex perversn or any ference to same”—a clear reference to homosexualy. ” Most signifintly, however, the range and volume of queer ics appearg right now monstrat how forcefully the reali and tails of gay life n get exprsed and visualized ics.
