GENDER QUEER HC THE ANNOTATED EDITION
Description
Dig deeper into one of the most banned books in America with this annotated edition of Maia Kobabe's seminal autobiographical work. Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns, shares a deeply personal coming‑of‑age story that charts eir journey of self‑identity—from crushes and adolescence to coming out to family and navigating society’s reactions. This edition adds voices from scholars, designers, and fellow creators to illuminate the craft behind the comics, the history of the LGBTQIA+ community, and intimate anecdotes from diverse contributors. In a refined hardcover format illustrated by Maia Kobabe and collaborators, the book now offers annotations that explain panel choices, symbolism, and context, making it a valuable educational tool for readers seeking empathy, understanding, and discourse about gender and sexuality. A landmark in graphic memoirs, Gender Queer HC the Annotated Edition invites advocates, students, friends, and curious readers to explore what it means to live authentically.
