Recs if you like Lumberjanes, Vol. 1: Beware the Kitten Holy...

in progress - taking suggestions

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic / lesbian characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Another resource for those looking for butches in books.

Disclaimer: I do not necessarily recommend all of these books. Please check out my page for reviews of the ones I’ve read!

LGBT*+ graphic novels / comics / manga +

Fluff to smut, including 18+ etc aka not exclusive to anything specific other than being queer content (queer & queer-rep inclusive stories). I have read a good handful of the ones now at the bottom of the list. Includes intended middle-grade-ish-level youth content to adult audience content.

In progress / updated over time. Mostly serving as an all-in-one-spot list until Pagebound figures something out that works well for multi-genre/format exploration. :)

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

I’m aiming to read 100 queer graphic novels, so here’s my list of the ones I’ve already read and the ones I plan to read. There might not be 100 books on the list yet, as I’m still gathering them all together.

Graphic novels, manga, etc. With sapphic characters

It's free comic books day, and we love comics and graphic novels every day, so here, have over 150 of our favorite graphic novels starring queer characters. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

expanding my graphic novel literacy, one panel at a time (continually updating)

A mixture of manga, manhwa and graphic novels for anyone who just wants a good story with some great characters without the spice element, or at most 'fade to black' scenes 😃☺️

Middle Grade Graphic Novels because everyone loves pictures with their words! Feel free to suggest more!

Sept. 25th is National Comic Book Day, and especially in light of recent platform discourse I've seen about graphic novels and manga reading and tracking on Pagebound, we definitely need more great lists for these! This list is all queer titles, recommended by people who work with Duck Prints Press (the indie publisher I run). This list is actually from 2023 so doesn't include recent stuff.

A variety of books recommended by a librarian (appropriate for students aged 11-16 as well).

these are the first volumes of some of the best comic and manga series. if you are new to comics/graphic novels or are looking to try a new series, this is the list for you.

I know there are some comic book lists out there, but I was thinking about making a list of comic book series I think people should not miss (or books I would put in a Starte Pack type quest). I am excluding graphic novels and focusing on multiple-volume comics. I am only adding the first volume of each.

We celebrate various events related to the publishing of children's books by highlighting children's books and middle grade works that feature queer themes and/or queer characters. This list is being posted for Children's Authors and Illustrators Week! (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators!)

Because we need more graphic novel lists and more queer books in general!

Body positivity, everybody is a beach body, and PMOS/Endometriosis Rep (if I can find it - recs accepted in comments). Mixed audience reads. YA/NA/18+

With love and respect and hugs and kisses to DC and Marvel, they are only a tiny part of the comic world and there are so many others. These are comics I recommend to beginners😊

Suggestions welcome‼️

Note: I’m not including mangas or graphic novels on this list - I’m focusing more on the multi-volume ‘traditional’ comic (with a couple small exceptions to the “multi” part) :33

So many childhood books, so little time, feel free to comment suggestions

Maybe you've got bored of seeing the same old Marvel/DC comics at the bookstore and you're looking for something from a different place? Here's a list of Graphic Novels that mainly fill an SF, SFF or Fantasy niche that are not from Marvel or DC (barring Vertigo imprint) publishers.
