Recs if you like My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, Vol. 1...

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

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

Graphic Medicine is… (an actual term) graphic novels, manga, comics, and visual representation engaging with health and healthcare - from health diagrams visual pamphlets to a graphic novel including health story or rep.

Note: I have NOT read all of these. It’s more a collection of a genre than intended as a recommendation. Do your research! :)

Mostly adult, YA, MG, and some other youth/ all ages titles

In-progress / updated over time Reccomendations welcome

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.

Sometimes queer, sometimes not, but always feminist - these horror stories tackle patriarchy and ideas about what roles people (are supposed to) play in it.

hello niche community ! if u do not know kevin atwater is a kind of small artist that sometimes posts book recs, this a collection of the books he has recommended! (also these aren’t explicitly recommendations from him just the books he has posted!)

I FEEL IT! books set in Chicago or where Chicago is important in some major way. fiction and non-fiction.

round up of fiction books set in Chicago (for most or all of the story) or nonfiction books about the city

My list of graphic novels/ comics that I think are examples of stories being more enjoyable/ impactful because of the drawn media involved!

Very bias list because I tend to be less critical of this medium than regular text novels.

Moods are all over the place,

Every book, in order, on r/graphicnovels Top 100. Please note, this list was made before the accusations against Neil Gaiman were made public.
