Graphic Memoirs, aka Memoirs told via Graphic Novels.

Huge shout outs to both one_crazy_elliott and MadHoney for such lengthy & thorough rec lists to add!

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.

A list of memoirs (or similar style of book e.g. epistolary diaries) by trans and non-binary authors.

This includes gender fluid, agender, two-spirit, and any other gender identities outside of the binary labels.

memoirs, anthologies, graphic novels etc. - anything goes as long as it's nonfiction about the trans & queer experience

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 have spent years curating a list of graphic novels for myself on goodreads and I thought this place would be great to share it and share my love for graphic novels. I’m not picky about the plot or topics of the graphic novels I read so the list is pretty much any graphic novel I have heard of regardless of topic. Many are middle grade or young adult as is the general trend of the format but recommendations for more (especially adult) would be greatly appreciated.

Also manga is not included.

Here are a bunch of graphic novels from different genres and ages! Mostly queer books also! Let me know if you need specific recs and leave your recommendations in the comments!

Books that feature Trans* Characters or Non-Fiction about Trans People (Ongoing project). Disclaimer: I haven't read all of these books yet, if there is an issue with the book/author, let me know. German and English
