Queer comics existed in a parallel universe to the rest of comics, appearing in gay newspapers and gay bookstores, isolated from mainstream or comic book stores. This insular world of queer comics, however, created a fascinating art scene and amusing commentary on everything from the AIDS crisis and workplace discrimination, to the search for love and a good haircut. Over the decades, LGBT artists tackled complex issues of identity and a changing society with intelligence, humor and imagination.<\/p>\n<\/div>
