Curator Tour - Queer As Comics

Explore Queer As Comics before it finishes on Sunday 1 November in a 45 minute guided tour with curator Paul Gravett.

Queer as Comics traces comics, strip cartoons, graphic novels and zines that have represented LGBTQIA+ perspectives since the 1940s. From the UK’s first published gay comic strip and the first gay Black superhero, to today’s self-publishing scenes and webcomics, this is an exhibition of trailblazers.

Paul Gravett is a London-based freelance journalist, curator, lecturer, writer, and broadcaster, who has worked in comics publishing and promotion since 1981. He is the author of definitive titles including 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die and Manga: Sixty Years of Japanese Comics, has curated numerous exhibitions on comics, and is the co-director of Comica, the London International Comics Festival.
