To redress the paucity and disparate state of existing scholarship on
queer comics the editors of this scholarly anthology invite submissions
of original art, interviews, and critical essays on the cultures of gay,
lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and queer comics and related media. The
editors aim to unite the best classic artwork and essays with innovative
and exciting imagery and investigations into queer comic strips, comic
books, graphic novels, zines, manga, film or television anime/ation, and
other related graphic media. Essays which address trans/international
comics, race and hybridity, or queer spectator/readership are especially
encouraged.
Paper topics might include:
-queer (or queered) comics or artists
-gay or dyke comix
-queer comics readers, conventions or fans
-gay and lesbian super heroes: Wonder Woman and other Amazons
-original interviews with notable creators, readers, publishers
-HIV/AIDS or safer sex educative comics
-(anti)homophobia and/or heterosexism in comics
-graphic sex (literally) and pornographic comics
-relationship of queer comics to underground or wimminıs comix
-queers in straight comics (Doonesbury, For Better For Worse, The
Simpsons, etc.)
-sexual ambiguity and anonymity in comics
-transnational queer comix -gay liberation and comics
-queer creators, straight comics; vice versa
-race, class, gender, sexuality hybridities in comics
-comparative essays with television, film, art, advertising etc.
