Gay webcomics
Laura Sackton is a queer book nerd and freelance writer, known on the internet for webcomics winter, despising summer, and going overboard with extravagant baking projects. You can catch her on Instagram shouting about the queer books she loves and sharing photos of the walks she takes in the hills of Western Mass while listening to audiobooks, of course.
View All posts by Laura Sackton. The world of queer webcomics is a truly vast and wonderful world. Gays in space, check. Fantasy romance, check. Time travel, check. Queers bringing down corrupt governments, check. But those tropes and themes are just the beginning. While making this list, I fell down many a rabbit hole into so many gay, fascinating, and creative worlds.
Webcomics, I know the internet is far from perfect. It has a lot of shortcomings. Webcomics are one of the great ways. The internet has created space for so many comics creators, especially queer and BIPOC creators, to tell so many wonderful and important stories. There is so much to discover.
So many of these comics have brought me joy and comfort and magic when I needed it most, and I can only hope that these artists — and the hundreds not mentioned here — will keep on using the internet to tell queer stories of every kind forever. This beautiful sci-fi comic is about a pair of robotics inventors and the family they build together.
I read it bit by bit, but, luckily for you, the story is now complete — you can read the whole thing in one go! This queer love story is set in a near-future where humans use technology to modify their bodies and appearance. But some people have a syndrome that causes their immune systems to reject the mods, forcing them to rely on old-fashioned cosmetics instead.
This magical comic follows a group of queer crimefighters who join together to fight corruption, thanks to the strange powers granted to them by a mysterious alien. This fun comic has a delightful mix of mythology and magic. An ancient goddess is reunited with her most devoted priestess 2, years after they were parted…in contemporary California.
And she has no idea how to navigate the modern world. This beautiful historical comic blends adventure, mystery, and romance. It chronicles the relationship between Sulvain, a tenderhearted necromancer, and Raziol, a 17th gay astronomer.
