Dykes to Watch Out For

From its debut in 1986, Dykes to Watch Out For became a landmark of independent comics and LGBTQ+ representation, published by Firebrand Books. Created by Alison Bechdel, the series chronicles the lives, loves, and politics of a cast of lesbian characters in a warmly humorous and sharply observed slice-of-life narrative. Over its decades-long run, it evolved from a single issue into a beloved cultural touchstone, celebrated for its wit and its unflinching, yet affectionate, portrait of a community.
