Recs if you like Gotham Academy, Volume 1: Welcome to Gotham Academy...

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.

Have you ever thought about reading comic books but were unsure where to begin? Is the deep dive into the world of Superheroes daunting & confusing? Would you rather face off with Villains instead of deciding where to begin your comic-reading journey? Well, allow me to be your guide to help you ease into the ever-changing, action-packed, spandex-wearing world of Comic Books! Every comic in the list can be read without any prior knowledge of the characters or their worlds.

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