26 (Probably Not Free) Graphic Novels for Free Comic Books Day!

[duckprintspress]

On Free Comic Books Day, the comic industry celebrates and attracts readers by offering (shock!) free comics at local comic book shops. We can’t offer any comics for free, but we CAN offer our favorite graphic novels starring queer characters (explicitly queer or otherwise!). The contributors to the list are: Tryan A Bex, Sebastian Marie, Nina Waters, Cedar, Puck, JD Rivers, Alessa Riel, Linnea Peterson, Mikki Madison, CarCrash, E. C., Rascal Hartley.

Can’t get enough queer graphic novels? There are over 150 titles we’ve recommended now and in the past, and you can find them all on our Goodreads Shelf, our Pagebound.co list, and – for those currently in print – in our Bookshop.org affiliate shop!
