Supporting Queer Comics &#; Creators
In the early days of Comic Publication Herald, I&#;d occasionally get promotional Kickstarter emails teasing a &#;queer sci-fi saga&#; (or some such), and I&#;ll fully admit, I did not understand what sexuality had to do with the promotion. What did the &#;queerness&#; of this work have to do with selling me on the story and artistic vision of the comic book?

Another Top 10 Gay Webtoon Comics That We Require to Talk About
A whole year has gone by since the first Top 10 Gay Webtoon Comics That We Need to Talk About, and since then the gays own been busy. As speedy as we powerwalk through a hallway or sprint to the dance floor during a Beyoncé ballad, new comics have been popping up on the Webtoon app. AND, I’ve been finding more and more that we desire to talk about.
So, heed, I know you’re not here to listen to my gay ramblings, you’re here to find more gay comics to interpret . I’ve got 10 ranked by my personal favor below. Have at ‘em. They’re really good and their authors are *chef’s kiss*.

Time travel, check. Queers bringing down corrupt governments, check. But those tropes and themes are just the beginning. While making this list, I fell down many a rabbit hole into so many strange, fascinating, and innovative world
